Introduction

There has been a recent explosion in the number and variety of services targeted to make our lives as software developers easier. Companies, both large and small, provide specialized services that allow us to take advantage of them in our own applications.

In this chapter, we will look at how we can use some popular services in our own applications. We will see how we can use services such as Amazon's S3 storage to save files to the cloud, services such as Twilio to send SMS text messages from our application, and more.
