Contemporary Analysis is the Amazon EC2 of the Data Science World

The greatest improvement in the productive powers of labour, and the greatest part of skill, dexterity, and judgment with which it is any where directed, or applied, seem to have been the effects of the division of labour. – Adam Smith
Ever heard of Instagram? How about Reddit, Urbanspoon, Pinterest, Spotify, Dropbox, Tumblr, Netflix, or Yelp? These companies, and many others, owe their existence to a young technology quietly advancing the web.  The technology is Amazon Web Services (AWS).  The impact has been enormous.  Amazon Web Services (AWS), an umbrella for a handful of cloud computing platforms, has democratized super computing for anyone with a visa credit card.  Now, companies can get their websites and products delivered faster and cheaper than ever before, because they only pay for what they use and when they use it.
Technologies like elastic load balancing and auto scaling allow anyone to use, and pay for, only what they need of the processing or storage capabilities of AWS. Rates start at $0.06 per hour. Security, maintenance, and backups are also taken care of so you can rest easy knowing that the nominal rate of pennies-per-hour also buys you peace of mind you wouldn’t have with the massive overhead of running your own computing platform. These benefits have made AWS the go-to-standard for things like modeling DNA, aerospace research, jumpstarting web companies with between 0 and 1,000,000+ users, and countless other uses.
