Scaling African Startups with AWS: Lessons from Building KaziHub
Building a startup in Nigeria isn’t easy — slow internet, limited capital, and little support. But AWS changed the game for me.
With it, I launched KaziHub, a job platform for African developers, and scaled it without owning a single server. Here's how AWS helped me do it — and how it can help you too.
? Auto-Scaling Saved Us
After a local tech conference, our traffic spiked overnight. Without AWS Auto Scaling, we would’ve crashed. Instead, the system scaled up instantly — no downtime, no stress.
We launched KaziHub on a tight budget using AWS’s pay-as-you-go model and credits from . That meant we spent money on dev work, not hardware.
KaziHub runs on:
We built fast — no giant engineering team needed.
? Global Reach, Local Power
Even with patchy internet, users from Kenya to Ghana access KaziHub fast thanks to AWS’s global data centers. You don’t need to rent a local server anymore — AWS brings the cloud to you.
? Security, by Default
With AWS handling encryption, compliance, and infrastructure security, we focused on building. That’s crucial when user trust is everything — especially in regions where fraud is a concern.
Faster Innovation
We shipped new features in days using Lambda and are now experimenting with SageMaker to match devs to jobs using AI.
AWS’s startup events in Nigeria connected me to mentors and other founders. These networks helped guide both product and strategy.
? Why This Matters
For African founders, AWS isn’t just a cloud provider — it’s a launchpad. It helped me go from idea to impact with limited funding, and now I teach cloud tools to other devs in my community.

? Use What You Need
KaziHub runs on:
- S3 for storage
- Amplify for hosting
- DynamoDB for our database
- Lambda for backend logic
