Amazon offers a comprehensive suite of services for mobile developers, including AWS Lambda, Amazon Cognito, Amazon SNS, Amazon Mobile Analytics, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon API Gateway, and the newly introduced AWS Device Farm. As the array of services catering to mobile development expands, Amazon Partners have an increased opportunity to collaborate with clients, aiding them in crafting innovative mobile applications on AWS. We are committed to assisting customers in locating Amazon Partners with the necessary expertise and solutions in the mobile sector; hence, I am pleased to announce the launch of the Amazon Mobile Competency.
What is the Amazon Mobile Competency?
The Amazon Competency Program aims to showcase Amazon Partners who have exhibited technical expertise and demonstrated customer success in specialized solution areas, particularly mobile development. Amazon Mobile Competency Partners possess extensive experience collaborating with developers and mobile-first organizations to build, test, analyze, and oversee their mobile applications.
