Delivery Hero on AWS
Delivery Hero went from an ambitious idea to the leading local delivery company. With the mission to deliver anything, straight to customer’s doors, Delivery Hero began building on Amazon Web Services (AWS) about a month after its launch. It is now on the forefront of innovation, operating a network of brands in 70 countries across four continents.

Their platform processes 10M daily orders through 500K+ couriers, using real-time route optimization and advanced fraud detection that blocked 32% more threats, while maintaining robust security and local compliance worldwide.
