Real life software engineer. I'd rather have content like this compared to the influencer bs other useless tech tubers spam with. This is actually educative and noise/bs-free.
Precise explanation! This is the 101 class that cloud providers should make by themselves. The official names and docs of these services are just confusing to newcomers and non-tech people.
They don't do it cause the more people misunderstand how simple it can be, the more money they make. Cloud providers make billions convincing people that complexity is the way.
Oh I just realized I forgot to mention that I use to work at google.. Btw I made an intermediate full stack course where I used several Cloud services if you're interested (Database, Message Queue, Object store and Serverless functions) neetcode.io/courses/full-stack-dev/0 Disclaimer: It's not beginner friendly. You should have at least a little experience with HTTP, databases, etc.
Waiting for one of your evening time videos for long( this generally rolls out in evening in India) We know you are a Googler neet .😂😂 . Awesome video !
My dad is 66 serving in IT for over 30 years trying to understand what AWS is and does... i sent him this video. I think it is a really simple and good way of explaining why you would use AWS and what it potentially can do. thx
Tell me his reaction?😂😂😂 I am curious because for someone who says he doesn't know what AWS do and its use, might be sarcasm because he's a pro and you didn't get what he meant. I'd like confirm on that please😂 because i myself hate SaaS in another SaaS and if he is 30 years in, it means he knows their dirty work and he's not interested.
IT isn't necessarily software engineering. My dad is a network engineer so he knows all about that but his main job isn't writing code. He also doesn't make SWE money.
I did an aws course, wrote tons of code, understood nothing and retained nothing. A high level understanding os way more important before diving into details
Now that you notice that... is the same reason why I also write a sort of "workday logs" to also have a fallback of knowledge in case everything goes poorly.
Message queues are a worthwhile callout. Maybe not necessary for every app, but its one of the first things you'll find yourself wanting as you grow, or just something you'll need depending on what you're building
As a hobbyist, who definitely doesn’t need kubernetes etc, it’s insane to think how much computing power I have at home, yet I’m still paying for a puny 1GB VLC from digital ocean. ISPs are the real a-holes here.
My role is akin to an SRE. We use AWS to support a global app with millions of users. I recommend playing with the open source self managed versions of these services on a homelab set up if you can. It will help you understand what’s happening up the hood of all of these services. Great video Neet! Surprised queue services like SQS werent mentioned.
can we agree that dynamodb architecture is impressive, for most of my usecases dynamodb fits super well, and cost is rediculous low compared to value I get on having single digit latency, rebalance partition, replication, a buuuunch of stuff I don't want to do every project.. Altough serverless sometimes does not apply, like their time series db was a bit disappointment, but we moved to a database that had time series functions like click house. Well, just choosing the right tool for your project is part of the job, but serverless mostly come as way to start it. Thank you so much for sharing it mate.. cheers.
I watched a lot of your leetcodes videos when i was solving leetcodes, And i thought that your explanations made sense because i already "studied" the problem, but here i am with no knowledge of cloud and yet your explanations were amazing, i think you are gifted
00:01 Understanding essential cloud services is key 02:11 Cloud providers offer VMs for running databases and other computing tasks. 04:09 Managed services handle infrastructure for you 06:18 Use a managed solution for storing data in the Cloud 08:29 Understanding the key cloud services for seamless transition across providers 10:36 Lambda function abstracts disc access, useful for most APIs 12:43 Cloud providers make development easier through services like data warehouses and tools like AWS. 15:02 Regional vs Global cloud database services 17:08 Get hands-on with important Cloud services
For me the biggest plus of the cloud is that you can create, destroy or modify the whole infrastructure with a single command by using tools like terraform or cloudformation. You can create infrastructure templates as a code and use them immediately when needed. This feature is amazing I think. Also as you said monitoring, organizing and network tools are really important too. All cloud services seamlessly compliment each other to become a solid infrastructure and I think we can not say that knowing only 5 them is enough.
Great explainer video! I was thinking recently whats the difference between vercel, netlify, aws, azure, google servers and all. It was to the point and precise. Abtractions over abtraction just to make things simple for developers.
Excellent video. I really enjoy how you just cut the crap and meaningless sprinkles that everyone in the area tries to use. Just a small correction of something I found around 13:30 is that databricks is not a data warehouse. It is a "lakehouse", a term they coined for a fancy datalake with some additional (very useful) functionality which makes it work more similarly to a warehouse. It is, however, very different from a warehouse itself.
great great great video, worked as a data engineer for 2 years and afterwards went back to uni for a masters in AI. now half a year later trying to refresh my cloud knowledge and your channel is a great way to keep the knowledge and intuition alive
I like the explanation but I feel a newbie may get the impression he needs all this stuff. Thing is that a 6$/month VPS will be more than enough for having a new project going online and getting users, and a beginner will learn a lot by setting it up and there will be no giant surprise bill at the end of the month if he gets something wrong. I've had multiple apps running on a single 6$ VPS for 8 years now. Thousands of users served monthly, it went offline only one time for a few hours because of a botched update.
Yeah I'd suggest people to use a VM to actually setup things themselves at least once. Database, backups, reverse proxy with apache/nginx, SSL renewal etc. It will give you a better understanding on how things work and you will actually understand what kind of problems these managed services solve for you.
what is neat about s3 tho is that you can seek to arbitrary offsets. imagine a big blob and you only extract chunks. that was very useful to me on a project involving a serverless app that was supposed to be able to extract snapshots.
If you want an easy time building things as a web dev, the way to go is fullstack Rails-inspired frameworks, like Rails itself, Laravel or my favorite, Phoenix. And you can't run any of those with just S3, RDS and FaaS.
One of the trends I'm facing is move to event oriented solutions. I think cloud providers are a really powerhouse when adopting events. I missed some info on that important stack
ec2 gets expensive because of VPC associated costs (ahem NAT gateways) - using other services will save money. ec2 instances are not going to typically get you passed an interview, its kinda stigmatized as "unimpressive"
6:49 ... Well, I want to host our database, whenever thats ok with our customers. With the projects I've been working on, I found it easier to figure out how sharding, partitioning and replication for a given database works, than to understand the APIs and billing schemes of cloud services offering similar things.
Well done explaining the features so well and easy to understand, simple screen writing can be as effective as animations that many are doing! I'm following u!
I love it. I can't love it more. I subscribed from your leetcode solution videos and I really love how you teach and explain things. Easy to understand, good examples and logical. Thanks a lot
I’m really liking the dose of sanity this channel is promoting. So much rhetoric around software dev is very “more is more”. This goes against fundamental engineering knowledge that has been known for years.
I have tried to find true definition of VM (i signed up on an expensive cloud computing course, did lot of research online. But, no one gave as clear cut answer as you. VM is like renting a virtual computer as a service.
OOh, perhaps go in depth with Open Telemetry too! Availability Zones, and perhaps some material for the cloud certification that I find some resources don't explain well?
Very interesting video but shouldn't a small to medium company just create a modular-monolith, and host on-prem or find another affordable hosting provider and avoid the Cloud altogether to save tons of money?
Cdk is also pretty good, because you can just code and deploy directly. And you can configure other aws services like s3, ddb directly in the lambda stack. I am new into this stuff I don't have experience, so if this thing is actually bad xD, pls tell. Tho, it was pretty slow during local development.
Everything runs on top of a computer. No sht. But i got your point tho. Spin your own docker mariadb in a VM that you are already paying for to host your small business
Don't let people convince you that this format is not good
big facts, clear and concise always good explanations too
brings me back to early CBT nuggets format!
Real life software engineer. I'd rather have content like this compared to the influencer bs other useless tech tubers spam with. This is actually educative and noise/bs-free.
Yes I am tired of them also
Web dev cody is really good too, bro gets straight to the point 😂 explains system nd code
@@daphenomenalz4100 this! His topics are things I'm dealing with at work on the regular. On the flip side you have people the Clever Programer smh
@@daphenomenalz4100 Yeah he's good. There's also Arpit Bhayani, Hussein Nasser.
People want entertainment, learning something is plain borring.
Precise explanation! This is the 101 class that cloud providers should make by themselves. The official names and docs of these services are just confusing to newcomers and non-tech people.
I've been studying for the Certified Cloud Practitioner certification and it's a really really good starting point for all this stuff.
They don't do it cause the more people misunderstand how simple it can be, the more money they make. Cloud providers make billions convincing people that complexity is the way.
You are the best abstraction of documentation

This is so expensive 😶
I do want to know about Google cloud nd stuff cuz i already use AWS, but this is pretty expensive ☠️ for me right now.
Bro, you need pin this comment. 📌
It's really important.
insane how well explained everything was in this video. so, so good.
This video is probably on my top 10 from your channel, thank you
What are you top 10, would love to know and learn from them

This is perfect. I like that you reduced so much into less in a time when everyone is throwing buzzwords around and it's all chaos. Thank you.
Love that you write instead of type, forces people to read and think
Now that you notice that... is the same reason why I also write a sort of "workday logs" to also have a fallback of knowledge in case everything goes poorly.

Stumbled upon this video in my recommendations, very impressed, subbed instantly!
Thanks, now I can finally add AWS to my resume.

You're one of the realest dudes out here. Everyone else keep adding filler stuff and try to sound smart without communicating anything substantial.
I think Everyone must start their cloud journey with this video
Finally someone can explain that loads of aws services which confusing into simple version and on point. Thank you..
Thats one of the best explanations for cloud services I've ever seen. Thanks a lot for your effort
Now I can add 10 years of CI/CD to my resume

this was amazing, I hope you keep making these type of videos where you simplify things,thank you.
This is really a in-depth video that looks at cloud services in a more concise way, we need more videos like this!
Awesome content! You need to see this before your next AWS exam and interview

This was the best summarisation video on cloud computing I have seen in youtube. Just Subscribed
One very neat thing about S3 is that you can query structured data in place.
You are truly a gem for the internet. Thank you for the work you do.
what is neat about s3 tho is that you can seek to arbitrary offsets. imagine a big blob and you only extract chunks.
that was very useful to me on a project involving a serverless app that was supposed to be able to extract snapshots.
Your voice is super good for explanations and the pace is just about right. Please do system design videos as well. 👍🚀🚀
If you want an easy time building things as a web dev, the way to go is fullstack Rails-inspired frameworks, like Rails itself, Laravel or my favorite, Phoenix. And you can't run any of those with just S3, RDS and FaaS.
You might not have noticed but you explained two OOPS concepts with superb examples: Abstraction and Encapsulation
Thats the type of content i wanna see. Thank u❤
Man.. as a senior frontend developer. I can say that this video is explained really good! Noce job man!
Thank you! You're a blessing to the tech community!
This is one of the most useful software education videos I have ever seen
One of the trends I'm facing is move to event oriented solutions. I think cloud providers are a really powerhouse when adopting events. I missed some info on that important stack
thanks for straight to the point/no bs video. subbed
best explanation ive ever heard of cloud services & ive been through a bunch of IT & Azure certifications without understanding half of it lol
Hi! I was wondering what you used to whiteboard or draw in your videos, love the look of it. Thanks!
ec2 gets expensive because of VPC associated costs (ahem NAT gateways) - using other services will save money. ec2 instances are not going to typically get you passed an interview, its kinda stigmatized as "unimpressive"
wow.. first 10 - 12 minutes of video and I alrady got a lot of clearity of aws and cloud providers... thank you bro
This high level view was super informative, good video!
you are fantastic! so well and structured and explained. Keep it up!
I know you from your leetcode videos, but man oh man, I'm really enjoying these videos man. Cheers.
this is just the perfect format to learn
6:49 ... Well, I want to host our database, whenever thats ok with our customers. With the projects I've been working on, I found it easier to figure out how sharding, partitioning and replication for a given database works, than to understand the APIs and billing schemes of cloud services offering similar things.
This way of content is supremely helpful. Please keep doing such sessions. Love it !
Amazing video🔥🔥
It would've been better if you explain where containers fit into this overall picture as well..
Well done explaining the features so well and easy to understand, simple screen writing can be as effective as animations that many are doing! I'm following u!
Love these. They are like a more detailed version of Fireship's videos.
Great coverage of the services with consiceness and simplicity !
you made so much easier to understand and interpret
Very informative and precise knowledge transfer on what are cloud services really about, and really enjoy watching this kind of video and want more!
Perfect pace and explanation. Thank you.
Really well explained.
Keep up the no bs no sensationalism content coming.🎉
Please make a course about AWS, Cloud etc
2nd day on my devops related job, video was helpful!
Would like more of these, thanks
I love it. I can't love it more. I subscribed from your leetcode solution videos and I really love how you teach and explain things. Easy to understand, good examples and logical. Thanks a lot
I agree, but SNS, SQS really is amazing to any application
Perfect explanation and format, thx a lot
what about providers like hostinger, namecheap and all
what do you have to say about their services
15:27, nothing's more intuitive than Azure's naming on its services 😁
Do more on k8s and cloud
Poor azure, no one knows the names of their services.
😂
It would be nice if they didn't change them randomly
I’m really liking the dose of sanity this channel is promoting. So much rhetoric around software dev is very “more is more”. This goes against fundamental engineering knowledge that has been known for years.

OOh, perhaps go in depth with Open Telemetry too! Availability Zones, and perhaps some material for the cloud certification that I find some resources don't explain well?
This is a very helpful overview 👍
really good video, agree with pretty much everything said and well put. this kind of knowledge needs to put out there
I would also include a container hosting service.
Best video you’ve made yet! Thanks
Very interesting video but shouldn't a small to medium company just create a modular-monolith, and host on-prem or find another affordable hosting provider and avoid the Cloud altogether to save tons of money?
You're a great educator! Keep it up 👏
Thanks for this amazing video man really helped me understand a lot of services
One of the best! Big kudos!
"Unknowingly" created a AWS Cloud Practitioner Course
Good explanation Navdeep 🙂
7:30 so proprietary means in other words Cloud native right?
Cdk is also pretty good, because you can just code and deploy directly. And you can configure other aws services like s3, ddb directly in the lambda stack.
I am new into this stuff I don't have experience, so if this thing is actually bad xD, pls tell. Tho, it was pretty slow during local development.
CDK is just AWS version of Terraform for infrastructure as code. It isn't bad, just limited to AWS as a whole
Everything runs on top of a computer. No sht. But i got your point tho. Spin your own docker mariadb in a VM that you are already paying for to host your small business
really good explanation. Great job
Well explained thank you
8:00 You are already large scale when u find yourself needing to use any of these cloud services tbh
hey neetcode,
can you make video explain how you as a solo developer build the "run code system", that compile the code and run tests on it? thanks!
In your (excellent) talk would a VM and docker be the same or would it be important to differentiate?
you would have a docker container or containers that run on the VM as their own processes
Great explanation, that's rare!
Do you think getting AWS cert will help? What's your opinion getting those certs?
amazing explanation man ❤
Love the video, looking forward to more
