As a solution architect working with AWS cloud applications for the past 6-7 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and connect with some amazing cloud enthusiasts. However, it wasn’t until 2023 that I officially joined the AWS Community Builders program. Since then, I’ve received a lot of support from the community, and I’ve also had the chance to share what I’ve learned with others. It’s been a rewarding experience, and now, with the program open for renewal, I encourage fellow developers, architects, and cloud enthusiasts to apply and get involved in this great journey.

The AWS Community Builders program is designed to recognize and support individuals who actively contribute to the AWS ecosystem. Whether you’re blogging, answering questions on forums, or hosting events, the program provides resources like early access to AWS products, exclusive networking opportunities, and direct contact with AWS experts.
2. Why I Love Being a Part of the AWS Community
When I first started with AWS, I found the cloud landscape overwhelming. But joining the AWS community made a huge difference. I learned from others, shared my experiences, and connected with people who had similar challenges. The AWS Community Builders program gave me the chance to take this to the next level by providing resources and a platform to help others. Over time, I’ve seen my contributions make a real impact, from blog posts that helped solve problems to conversations that led to new ideas.
