Innovation at work (at Airbnb)
Learn how Airbnb uses AWS to more easily manage and process its 50 GB of daily incoming data, leveraging the resulting analytics to achieve efficiency at scale and continually enhance its product.
Taking vacations into the cloud
As the company grew rapidly, Airbnb needed easier ways to manage data and ramp up servers and storage—without restrictions like minimum usage commitments. The company also required more automation and simplified technical service, as its current infrastructure was being pushed beyond capacity.
Working harder to help customers relax
A year after Airbnb launched, the company decided to migrate nearly all of its cloud computing functions to AWS. Airbnb uses AWS to support demand for its application, Memcache, search servers, house backups, and static files and to easily monitor and supervise all of its server resources. Its entire database migration to AWS was completed with only 15 minutes of downtime.
Simplifying operations for global success
The low-cost, simple, and ever-expanding selection of products available from AWS have helped Airbnb expand its services to 25,000 cities across 192 countries. And the company states that the flexibility and responsiveness of AWS have allowed its teams to prepare for (and deliver on) even more growth. That’s the ease of innovation on AWS.
