Despite being what most people think about when mentioning AWS, I left their Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) until now, mostly because personally I don’t use it all that much.
With the advent of Lambda, EC2 can feel a bit more laborious as there is a lot more set up involved than with serverless solutions.
One of the coolest, but probably the least understood features of Pantheon’s cloud based Drupal platform is “SFTP Mode”. This article is all about SFTP Mode and why it is so useful.
We use Pantheon for most of our projects and it is quite wonderful to use. In particular, the multidev feature provided by the Business+ level hosting is a "must have" for development teams. Not only do you get the standard dev => test => live development workflow, you also get separate sandboxed dev sites for each of your developers to work in.
