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.
