Extra exposure, it’s free , and there’s less competition; there’s really not much reason why you shouldn’t submit your app to the Amazon App Store. Granted, even we’ve been skeptical of the profit to be had. Nevertheless, if your a developer who’s been holding back, Amazon has got an offer that hopes to change your mind. Starting this morning, anyone who submits and app to the store gets a $50 credit to Amazon’s Web Services suite. The credit is good toward any aspect of the suite which includes:
- Amazon ElastiCache
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
- Amazon Elastic MapReduce
- Amazon CloudFront
- Amazon Relational Database Service(RDS)
- Amazon Route 53
- Amazon SimpleDB
- Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)
- Amazon Simple Notification Service(SNS)
- Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)
- Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
- AWS Elastic Beanstalk
While only a $50 credit, if you play your cards right, that may cover your app’s costs through testing up through launch.
