Our systems are at the core of Amazon.com. We serve the product and offering
catalog containing billions of records, and we are the authority for product
information, including availability and price. Our systems respond to billions
of requests per day that power the Amazon shopping experiences and other
customer interfaces, such as Amazon Shopping App, Kindle, Wholefoods, Amazon
Fresh and Amazon Alexa. We get more traffic than most other Amazon systems and
most requests are handled within a few milliseconds.
We are regularly challenged by new business use-cases that bring in high levels
of ambiguity and competing priorities. Our team has been instrumental in
launching high-impact customer features, such as "Buy For Me" that helps
customers discover and seamlessly purchase select products from other brands’
sites if those items are not currently sold in Amazon’s store. We also helped
launch "Amazon Haul", with its own shopping experience, search, cart, and
checkout so customers can build up a great haul of items at low prices of under
$20. By building segmented offers, we helped Amazon provide sub-same-day
delivery to our customers and achieve the fastest delivery speeds in the US last
year. We are also tackling the challenge of implementing regional pricing that
scales to meet the unique needs of diverse markets, ensuring our customers
receive fair and competitive prices no matter where they are located.
While large-scale, high-throughput, low-latency systems are common at Amazon,
the services operated by this team differentiate themselves by being the
top-traffic serving systems, serving hundreds of trillions of requests per day,
supporting 1 billion transactions per second in single-digit millisecond
latencies. These systems source data from many data sources and execute logic to
determine buyability of the items in the Amazon catalog, which is consumed by
hundreds of systems.
