<ul>
<li><strong><em>Networking:</em></strong><em> The main ingredients for communication and connection!</em></li>
<li><strong><em>S3:</em></strong><em> For storage, especially our product data and images.</em></li>
<li><strong><em>DynamoDB:</em></strong><em> Covering our primary database tables.</em></li>
