Empowering BUIDLers to Redefine the Internet - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2022

first of all it's great to be here great energy and I need to apologize as I'm not the Jeff from Amazon that you may have hoped to see today so my apologies on that uh but I'm really excited to talk about how AWS is empowering Builders to redefine the internet and where we're taking this to the next level so I'll start with this a little bit of history about AWS we've been powering companies in blockchain crypto and web3 space longer than anybody it's something that we've worked very hard at working backwards from our customers making sure that we're helping them out in the best ways possible we've grown our team significantly over the years uh there's a number of support all around the world uh from Global teams from account managers solution Architects Business Development many other things including products and services we've worked very very hard as far as learning from you our customers to how we can help you we also have our partners in our Marketplace as ways to help tell your story and get the word out of what's going on most important about this slide is our customers we work we work with uh two girls in a hoodie all the way up to the most impactful companies in web 3. always any way that we can help them out we have self-service ways we have ways where our teams are working directly with you as a builder for us it's all about Builders doing what you need to do to help you out uh one thing that we do focus on is we're focusing on all segments so from the layer ones layer twos we spend a lot of time with them going deep as far as understanding how can we bring developers to them how do we give those developers tools to build on any chain AWS is agnostic when it comes to chains and how we look at that so just wanted to point that out that if one of the one of the hardest decisions that a company has to make in web 3 versus traditional uh startups is they have to make that decision of which chain are you building on how do you look at that we try to help customers in that regards one other thing about the other segments is we work we spend a lot we we have a real good business with our exchanges that are powering crypto we've spent a lot of time working very well with them it goes way back to the early days we we've got we power the majority of crypto exchanges that are out there and when we start looking at other parts as web3 infrastructure if you look at web 3 infrastructure there's a number of companies out there that have built some really really powerful tools to help all of you build were that Gap that we helped fill that Gap that they have so we're helping power those companies to help you out beyond that we work very closely with D5 nfts Marketplace or uh the metaverse Loretta her energy was fantastic so it's one of those things we're working on that so uh we keep supporting you Loretta um as far as other things when you look at it again game five is a huge spot too where we're seeing a lot of take place in that world so one of the big things is we also have like I mentioned the global reach but we were we spent a lot of time with investors working very closely with the truth I'll say web 3 native investors but also we all know that there's another number of ways that uh investing is taking place in this world uh with Dows gills a number of other ways that these companies are being funded we're working very hard to contribute back to the web 3 world and help out by identifying where these developers are and giving them the tools to build foreign stats about AWS we have over 200 plus Services uh our pace of innovation is uh faster than anybody one note about that every three hours we announced a new feature and it's really hard working at NWS to know what we announced this morning let alone last week but the way our teams are set up is to give you an understanding of how those tools can be used what tools you have at your hands from our solution Architects being able to help you out those are certain ways that we we definitely can go much deeper with you and help you build faster and get your products out uh security standards uh that's a real important part we have the majority we are we have most of security standards that any cloud provider that's out there and then our availability zones and GEOS we cover the entire Globe so we're growing there's more I should say there's more and more GEOS and availability zones that are coming forward uh one point I'll also make on this slide is that by 2025 all of our proxy services will be 100 renewable energy that is something very near and dear to our our hearts here at Amazon uh the climate is very very important so it's something that we work very hard on that so I'd like to call that out couple other things when you think about just where we're at we have the most functionality we have the largest community obviously web3 Community is what this is all about uh we are the most secure again I'll mention the fastest pace of innovation and we have a lot of expertise so the way our teams are being built around web3 we definitely are building that out more and more to where we can go in and help you as a builder so how does AWS help you as a builder with what's going on obviously Cloud infrastructure is the heart of what we do uh it's one of those parts where we're continually improving our services to make it much better for you as far as what's going on for us it's about giving you those tools that you can build and get your again get your products out fast another part that sometimes people don't think about when they think of AWS is how we can help you go to market and that is an area where we spend a lot of time to help you grow as a business as to what that looks like and where where it goes so when you think about the go to market side there's a number of ways that we do that we have our partner Network where we spend very work really hard so we have companies from web3 that are in our partner Network we also have our marketplace where it's very easy one click uh deployments of whatever you may have so there's ways that we can work with you there but then there's other ways that we work from a go to market standpoint I'll say in the last 12 to 24 months the number of times that Enterprise customers have come to me and asked me we need a web 3 strategy what do we do so we're there to be able to not only educate them on that but then refer our customers to them so we're starting to see a lot of real cool advancements there one big thing about that it's much different than the 1819 crypto winter so this one people are still they're asking that question versus a few years back they were not asking that question the final piece on this that I'll talk about or I should say one more piece on this would be the visibility uh Amazon we are a book company we like to tell stories so we want to help you tell your story and get the word out as far as what your story is and where you'd like to take your business so we have many platforms to do that we work very hard from the standpoint of be it content blogs videos anything on that front but then events uh recently we did a web 3 ready day uh last week where we had thousands of people that registered and thousands of people that attended and it was a very successful event as far as developers coming in and learning so for us it's how do we educate how do we help our customers grow the final piece on this and this is something that's near and dear to my heart is when you think about web3 again it's all about community and one thing that we're really driving home hard on is Webster communities and us giving back so how has AWS contributing back to the Webster Community what are we doing to help provide value versus extracting so oops so as I wind down here uh AWS is empowering Builders to read to find the internet I'm going to call out one way that we're doing it internally we have a day one culture it's a it's a when you think about day one it's every day you need to be moving forward how do you look at that Amazon is looking at web3 we are working on a number of things on that front I can't go into detail as to what we are doing or not doing but what I will say is it certainly has the attention of our teams uh and what we're looking on that we constantly are working backwards from our customers that is where we learn we learn from you each and every day as far as where are your pain points where what do you need to help move forward and that's that is something where that's how we innovate and how we move forward as far as taking care of you as a customer I'll call out please visit boothp50 it's right down there uh if you want to hear any more I'll be around to talk we have many many people here that are helping you out and so forth and finally I'll say that we're hiring uh we are hiring across all roles from solution Architects to BD to sales to a number of different areas to our engineering teams we're continuing to build and over time the way the resources that we've committed to the space it will continue to grow uh just because we all know that this is really just beginning even though it's been going on for a little bit here but we do know we'll continue to move forward so with that I'm going to say thank you I want to help us get back on track help you out because I know you want that so but I can't thank everybody else we have many many customers that are here today that have their booths we can't thank them enough and so all have a great day and enjoy the rest of uh talking 2049
