We have started to develop a game with our team. We are using Unity game engine. The game will be online. We consider to use Amazon servers. There are two questions we need an answer.
1- Is there any Amazon Network system? (Like Unity network) If there is a such system, do we need to use other documentation as well?
2- Could we use amazon network system for unity network as substructure?( at the same time there will be minimum 500K online players )
You will make us happy if you answer. Thanks!
I will do my best to answer your query however its a rather broad question.
Cloud Gaming exists already on AWS by major developers such as King, Red 5, Ubisoft, Sega and Naughty Dog plus many more. Check out the below link to read more about Gaming customers that are already choosing AWS as a provider for their cloud solutions.
https://aws.amazon.com/gaming/gaming-customer-references/
An extremely good article has been written by Jeff Barr of AWS about King's AWS solution is available for viewing below:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/king-using-amazon-cloudfront-to-deliver-mobile-games-to-over-200-countries/
General information about AWS for Gaming Cloud is also available below, however in addition to reading all that I have posted I would make contact with AWS sales as I know that they would be keen to talk to you about your specific needs and you will likely get a lot of support from them to help you aboard.

I hope this information helps, again make contact with AWS as I am confident that they will be interested to hear from you and keen to win you over.

How could a company's first technical employee (or a consultant) integrate cloud service costs into the company budget? My thinking is that when you build "serverless" or "autoscaling" services the company may ask
How much will this cost? $10/month? $1,000/month?
and it seems unclear how to manage those costs.
If we just do an example. Let's say I build a Heroku or Cloud Run (GCP) hosted dashboard, or a simple web app using Firebase. Who pays for it? I don't want company tools to run out of my credit card for obvious reasons.
Make sure you have technical solution of your problem.
Then, find out the size of your data in each request. How much bandwidth you will use? Where you will store the data? How much CPU you will use? etc.
Based on this extrapolate your cost for whole month.
Based on that you can use GCP calculator https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator
I would recommend to start with one of the major cloud providers free plans, for example in AWS you can open free account for 12 month and you can start building your serverless code, create api, store data and much more. after getting confidence with your solution you can present it to your company and decide later if they want to continue with payable usage or not.

I am a freelance software engineer, I have worked in few areas of computer science, I have made some e-commerce websites in the past. Now I have an opportunity to build a big enterprise level system. I can not disclose specifics about the application due to NDA I signed so pardon me if my question seems broad, let me know in the comments if you require clarification. I appreciate your help.
About Application:
In this application, I would require building a system like uber, there will be people at my client's end for
resolving customer issues, so a CRM is also needed.
customers will be using this app, so I have
to design a separate system that can manage tickets and access
database.
My question is where to start designing such application. I guess I would require DynamoDB and AWS, I have divided modules into parts such as Client App, Database, Dashboard etc. I want to know if there is some case study that can help me decide how to design such large application.
I found this link useful, it gave me an idea of work, but still, I believe it's a long way from money shot.
[EDIT]
To narrow down the scope of the question, What Backend server should be chosen for an application that will serve one hundred thousand users per hour. I will use Mongo DB as the database, and Python as backend scripting language.
IBM has a nice article on Enterprise Architecture,
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/enterprise-architecture-maximum-value/
Before building the software, design how it should work and choose your software components according to that.
Previously you might need costly infrastructure to think something, with recent technologies, you can do them at a lower cost. You need to apply the right architecture and engineering when designing your application.

Is there a API for Google Keep? I want to make a windows 8 app for Google Keep, so that it synchronizes with your phone.
I looked into the Drive SDK because Google Keep is a extension of Google Drive, but I couldn't find it.
UPDATE: yes, Google released a public REST API for Keep. Here's the public documentation.
No there's not and developers still don't know why google doesn't pay attention to this request!
As you can see in this link it's one of the most popular issues with many stars in google code but still no response from google! You can also add stars to this issue, maybe google hears that!
I have been waiting to see if Google would open a Keep API. When I discovered Google Tasks, and saw that it had an Android app, web app, and API, I converted over to Tasks. This may not directly answer your question, but it is my solution to the Keep API problem.
Tasks doesn't have a reminder alarm exactly like Keep. I can live without that if I also connect with the Calendar API.

I have read a couple articles and I know the basic concept of cloud computing..But I still don't know what exactly I can do with this service.
As a mobile application developer, I have developed a couple of iPhone applications. I have a Bluehost account and I have MySQL database in there. I have a couple PHP scripts on my server and on device side, it sends http request to the server to get the data from database in XML format. That is basically how I designed and implemented my applications..
Now what can I do with a cloud computing? If I use a cloud computing service such as AWS then how it is going to change the structure of my application?
Thanks in advance...
Cloud computing doesn't necessarily have to change the structure of your app. The main benefit of cloud computing in a lot of cases is scaling.
Right now if your iPhone apps become really popular and overload your current host, what do you do?
Using the cloud, you could spin up new instances (servers) on demand almost instantly. Another benefit is you only pay for what you need. Of course, depending on the situation, it might require changes to your structure to take advantage of scaling features.
edit: Specific to AWS, they have a service called Elastic Load Balancing. Take a look: http://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/

I can't find much information around the web about it. Has anyone used both eConnect and the Dynamics web services to interact (read/write) with Great Plains. I am looking for the pros and cons of both approaches.
This product will be installed and configured on various sites, so ease of configuration is really important. I usually hate to mess with IIS.
Should be able to target GP 9 and 10.
Thank you
Use the Great Plains Connector - full info here http://help.boomi.com/display/BOD/Great+Plains+Connector?showChildren=false
and here for pro-cons/limitations etc.:
http://www.articlesbase.com/software-articles/great-plains-customization-how-to-integrate-legacy-application-with-dynamics-gp-452580.html
and of course from the horse's mouth:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms994230.aspx
We have done sites based off of web services for GP 9. Don't worry about IIS, there isn't much you have to worry about with that. The install process is very easy. It did not require me to do any configuration with IIS. Some of the configuration is a little tricky at first, like adding users, and setting up policies. But once you get the hang of it, its no problem. We use web services for almost everything now, they were so easy to develop with. I wish there were a few more, to update and access more information which I hope is coming but otherwise easy.
We have used it on ecommerce sites and windows applications. We did not choose econnect because of the ease of the web services, econnect I beleive has more options and we did use it to create and update sales invoices, but changed it to web services. If you have any specific questions please feel free to let me know. Thanks!
