Cloud-based prototyping for scalable software development: A study on rapid deployment and testing using amazon web services (AWS)

This paper examines the role of cloud-based prototyping in scalable software development, focusing on the rapid deployment and testing capabilities provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Traditional approaches find it difficult to meet the need for quick, scalable, and affordable prototyping as software development needs more agility. To overcome these obstacles, cloud platforms such as AWS provide adaptable, on-demand infrastructure. This study assesses how AWS products, such as Relational Database Service (RDS), Lambda, and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), affect prototype cycles through a number of experiments. The results show that by automating infrastructure management, AWS greatly shortens deployment times, allowing for faster application delivery. Before a full-scale deployment, developers can improve apps thanks to AWS's support for effective load testing and quick iterations. The study shows how AWS improves scalability, reduces operational overhead, and expedites testing procedures, providing useful information for businesses looking to use cloud platforms to speed up software development.
