import.io Case Study

London-based startup import.io provides an online tool used for collecting data from any website, allowing users to turn that information into structured data and APIs. The company uses a broad range of AWS services, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon CloudFront, and Elastic Load Balancing, to capture website information and deliver it for analysis in Excel, databases, and custom line-of-business applications. By using AWS, the 25-person company can focus on developing the product instead of buying and maintaining IT infrastructure hardware and software, enabling it to deliver continuous feature improvements while easily scaling to handle billions of transactions annually.
