Amazon Web Services

In 2002, Amazon launched Amazon Web Services (AWS), which provides programmatic access to hidden features on its website.

In November 2005, Amazon began testing Amazon Mechanical Turk, an application programming interface (API) that allows programs to send tasks to human processors.

In March 2006, Amazon launched an online storage service called Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

An unlimited number of data objects ranging in size from 1 byte to 5 terabytes can be stored on the S3 and delivered via HTTP or BitTorrent. The service pays a monthly fee for stored and transmitted data.
In 2006, Amazon introduced the Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), a distributed queuing service and product wiki (later incorporated into Amapedia), and discussion forums for some products using guidelines that follow the standard. message board convention.

The BitTorrent interface to S3 is no longer available.
