I’m building an application that will utilize the Amazon API to retrieve products. I’m trying to determine if I’ll have any advantage storing data on the Amazon server or a standard dedicated/shared server. Can anyone help me out please?
The answer depends on the performance requirements of your database.
Storage options available in AWS are quite slow compared to local storage or a SAN. If you have a smallish solution with modest traffic, AWS is fine. For high volume, high performance requirements I cannot suggest AWS.
I have prototyped two applications on AWS, and both were migrated to dedicated hardware once they had to handle serious customer volume.
