This video showcases how three AWS customers - FoodHub, Freightways, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals - are leveraging serverless architectures to scale their operations and optimize costs. FoodHub uses AWS Lambda and DynamoDB to handle order processing spikes, Freightways employs Fargate and SNS/SQS for package tracking, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals utilizes API Gateway and Fargate for molecule searches. The serverless approach allows these companies to efficiently manage varying workloads while minimizing operational overhead.
