Why choose ACA as your AWS partner

  • We keep our engineers skilled

    Our expertise is built on years of experience in building and maintaining workloads on AWS. Additionally, our engineers are certified and continue to hone their skills through online learning, events and research.

  • Your regional AWS expert without vendor lock-in

    ACA Group has been working with the public cloud since their beginnings. AWS is the obvious choice because of their commitment to implement new technologies at a rapid pace and embrace the open source and Java community. Furthermore, the possibility to choose regions allows us to build solutions that have low latency and EU affinity, something that has become more important over the last few years with the implementation of GDPR.

  • Proven technology stack

    Over the years, we started using AWS in combination with other tools and frameworks to build our best-of-breed setup. Rather than a complete vendor lock-in, we use tools that have proven to be the best solution, e.g. Datadog for monitoring, New Relic for application performance monitoring, CloudHealth for cost monitoring, Terraform for our infrastructure-as-code approach, Jenkins, IntelliJ, Helm, Ansible and others.
