Amazon - Developer Resources & Featured Solutions



Developer Resources

Here are a few highlights and new additions to our Developer Resource Center.

Making Secure Requests to Amazon Web Services
Ensuring the integrity of requests to our APIs is of the utmost importance to AWS, as is maintaining your trust and confidence. This article provides detailed information about making secure requests: 1. Always use SSL-protected API endpoints. 2. If you are not using SOAP, use Signature Version 2, a new method for signing requests for Amazon SQS, Amazon SimpleDB, and Amazon EC2. These methods will be required as of September 30, 2009 so we urge you to read this article and migrate your applications as soon as possible.

Security is always a nice feature to have built into a system.

Manager for Amazon CloudFront
A Windows application for uploading files to Amazon S3 and distributing them through Amazon CloudFront.

Easy to use?

Stock Quote Example: Using Amazon SQS for Scale
This article shows how Amazon Simple Queue Service can be used to build a highly reliable, highly scalable application.

Interesting article.


Featured Solutions

Check out what your peers have built with AWS. These solutions include interesting web applications built on top of AWS as well as tools that help you integrate with AWS.

Vembu
Vembu StoreGrid's online backup software now supports AWS. Now you can start an Online Backup Service with your backup server running on Amazon EC2 and using Amazon S3/EBS for storage.

I am assuming this is not fast to access as it is aimed for back-up.

RunMyProcess
RunMyProcess delivers a cutting edge and ergonomic "BPM as a service" platform, enabling rapid SaaS integration and workflow applications design.

Business Process Management as a Service?

Dropbox
Dropbox is a desktop file sharing tool that makes it easy to store, sync, and share files online. Dropbox automatically backs-up files to Amazon S3 and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

This is nothing new except that it automatically backs up files to Amazon S3.
