AWS may not be the best option for non-developers, especially those who are just getting started with web development, despite its ubiquity and adaptability.<\/p>\n<p>However, keep reading below as we share for non-developers how they can use AWS services via Staq!<\/p>\n<h2>Issues<\/h2>\n<h3>Steep learning curve<\/h3>\n<p>The steep learning curve with AWS is one of the main difficulties. AWS can be complicated and challenging to use for non-developers, especially if you are new to the field of web development. The platform is intended for developers, therefore you will need to learn a lot of technical terms and concepts in order to utilise it properly.<\/p>\n<h3>Cost Optimization issues<\/h3>\n<p>The affordability of AWS is still another problem. AWS can be very expensive even though it offers a lot of flexibility and scalability. This is because non-developers are frequently paying for more resources than they require because they are unable to create solutions that are optimised for AWS. For startups and small firms who are trying to save costs, this can be especially difficult.<\/p>\n<h2>How can Staq help?<\/h2>\n<p>This is where Staq steps in as a non-developer-friendly option or digital agencies that require a streamline platform to safe them time and money.<\/p>\n<p>Staq is a managed WordPress AWS hosting platform designed particularly for digital agencies that build on WordPress. Staq, in contrast to AWS, has an optimised AWS architecture that was created expressly to work with WordPress, allowing non-developers to simply build and host their websites without having to worry about the technical aspects.<\/p>\n<h3>AWS features Staq uses<\/h3>\n<p>Staq uses the following AWS services:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Server = EC2 Instances<\/li>\n<li>Databases = RDS MariaDB<\/li>\n<li>Hard Disk = EBS<\/li>\n<li>File Storage = S3 buckets<\/li>\n<li>CDN: CloudFront<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is a simplified explanation. You can read more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpstaq.com\/our-infrastructure\">Staq infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All of this comes together in an intuitive platform that replaces more than 20+ plugins, processes and third-party services.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpstaq.com\/contact\">Contact us<\/a>\u00a0today or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpstaq.com\/sign-up\">sign up<\/a>\u00a0for our unique services and power your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpstaq.com\/aws-wordpress-hosting\">WordPress AWS hosting<\/a>\u00a0environment on Staq!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sophisticated cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a variety of services to companies and organisations of all sizes.
