Cloud Adaptation Help Startups Easily Develop New Innovations

The COVID-19 pandemic has also driven digital transformation to become buzzword among business people. The increasing need for a business entity to adapt digitally is also a driving factor. One of the technology infrastructures that is quite closely linked as part of this transformation step is cloud computing or cloud computing cloud computing.

Utilization cloud in the company's operations can be a careful step for business people. One of its main advantages is of course budget efficiency. By using cloud, enterprises can optimize the cost of infrastructure and server maintenance on-premise with service cloud which is more affordable at no additional cost.

However, the advantage of using cloud it doesn't just stop there. There are several other advantages that startups can feel when they start taking advantage of cloud, including:

• Ease of implementation
• Can take advantage of the service cloud diverse
• Products can be developed faster
• Unlimited server capacity.
• Increase business scalability as needed
• Improved company operational efficiency
• Reliable encryption and data security
• The data processing process is faster because latency The low one
• and many other advantages.

Various advantages of flexibility, efficiency and effectiveness of use cloud This also applies to the entire scale of the company. Whether it's a small, medium, or even large corporation. These advantages are believed to help startups to create new innovations more easily.

Easier Feature Development, Go-To-Market Faster

One of the main advantages that startups can feel after adapting cloud is feature development that can be done more quickly. Why? Because one form of ease of use cloud is the use of its features which are quite simple, namely plug and play. That way, the IT team no longer needs to think about the technicalities engineering complex internals and non-essential, they are quite focused on the product being developed.

Adroady, A local startup focused on OOH digital advertising, taking advantage of the convenience cloud in the development of their adtech products. "We all server use existing clusters on AWS, use several technologies such as virtual machines, databases, can be deploy in one touch and can focus on Development product to give best experiences to our customers." said Samuel Utama, CTO Adroady.

In addition to Adroady, ease of feature development due to adaptation cloud this is also agreed by Jojonomic. To DailySocial, CEO of Jojonomic, Indrasto Budisantoso said that adaptation cloud on the one hand can also help Jojonomic in providing a kind of concept convincing customer that they can solve various solutions, through innovations that are presented through the use of cloud The.

One example, Jojonomic can present their video conferencing product, JojoMeet, without taking long. This is due to the use of the platform cloud which helps them to not have to design systems and products scratch from zero. “With the Amazon Chime SDK, Jojonomic does not need to design and develop an interface for video conferencing from scratch and take months.” added the CTO of Jojonomic, Abdul Qifli Sangadji, during a media briefing with AWS some time ago.

This can prove that in addition to making it easier for startups to produce new innovations, adaptation cloud It can also help these innovations to be marketed more quickly to consumers customer. Startups can run faster with new innovations, without worrying about lack of resources and supporting technology infrastructure.

Answer the Challenge of Startup Server Needs and Scalability

Talking about technology infrastructure, startups will also face challenges related to the need for servers that can support business scalability. In this case, the startup will be met with two options, have their own server or use the cloud as the server of choice.

On the one hand, having your own server can also be a challenge for startups. Server ownership on-premise This not only increases operational expenses, but can also incur unexpected costs of maintaining the server network. For that, adapt cloud can be one solution for startups in facing this challenge.

On the other hand, the use of cloud as a server is also considered important in startup scalability needs. The need for flexible and easy server additions, allowing startups to continue to focus on developing traction and deployment platformwithout fear of it happening crash nor overload at an unexpected time.

Through the use of cloud, startups can have server capacity according to their needs, while increasing or decreasing the server requirements easily. For Jojonomic, this flexibility also means they don't have to worry about other additional costs. "With the capability" self scaling from AWS, Jojonomic does not have to worry about the cost of maintaining a network for its various uses.” said Abdul, CTO of Jojonomic.

Not only that, the advantages of using cloud sebagai server also makes startups not have to worry about traffic usage, server maintenance, and infrastructure capacity used. According to Samuel Utama, the product cloud that Adroady uses can actually make it easier for them to develop new features and innovations on their platform.

“Initially, until we built our own GPU server, so to be able to make our own models for measurements, we built our own server, until we met AWS, we retired the server to train the AI, we used the AWS SageMaker service for our training. new models so we can focus Development the product." added Samuel.

AWS Supports Startup Acceleration through DSLunchpad 2.0

In addition to encouraging startup innovation through its products, AWS also helps startups present new innovations and develop their startups in various ways, one of which is by organizing the DSLlaunchpad 2.0 acceleration program with DailySocial.id

Entering its second week, the acceleration program, which was attended by 118 participants, will help participants to develop their startups in four categories, namely idea validation, business models, prototypingand marketing. Through this acceleration program, participants will not only see how cloud can be one of the strategies that facilitate the development of innovations in their startups, but also how the innovations presented can be well received by consumers through the validation of ideas, business models, and the right marketing approach.
