Cloud services form the foundation of modern backend development. Let's compare the three major providers. AWS (Amazon Web Services): - Largest market share (~33%) - Widest range of services - EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, SQS, ElastiCache - Complex pricing - Jobs: most in-demand cloud skill GCP (Google Cloud Platform): - BigQuery, Cloud Run, Kubernetes Engine - Strong in data analytics and ML - Firebase — perfect for mobile backend - Simpler pricing Azure (Microsoft): - Enterprise integrations — Active Directory, Office 365 - Best choice for .NET projects - Strong in hybrid cloud - Leader in government and enterprise sectors What to learn? If you want to work in a startup — AWS or GCP. Enterprise — Azure or AWS. Start with AWS — it covers 1/3 of the market.
