Guidance for Driving Airline Loyalty Through Personalized Promotions on AWS

Overview

This Guidance demonstrates how airlines can cultivate traveler loyalty through personalized promotions and offerings that elevate their travelers’ experiences. Personalized promotions and offers are determined by each traveler’s preferences and behaviors, incentivizing more relevant cross-sell and up-sell opportunities at the right moment in every journey. By optimizing the timing and relevancy of offers, airlines can drive more passengers to purchase preferred items. The result: greater customer lifetime value and traveler loyalty.

How it works

These technical details feature an architecture diagram to illustrate how to effectively use this solution. The architecture diagram shows the key components and their interactions, providing an overview of the architecture's structure and functionality step-by-step.

Well-Architected Pillars

The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.

Amazon CloudWatch provides metrics, logs, and alarms to monitor your applications and services in near real-time so you can respond quickly to events and incidents. It can also track performance, availability, and the overall health of your applications. CloudWatch metrics are collected in automated dashboards to help you optimize the performance of your workloads. CloudWatch alarms proactively notify users of any issues so you, or your team, can take immediate action on events and incidents.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) allows you to reduce the permissions that you grant to help you work towards least privilege permissions—meaning users only have access to the specific resources they need. This strengthens data security and access control for sensitive data, such as a traveler's personally identifiable information (PII).

DynamoDB replicates data across Availability Zones, providing both high availability and fault tolerance. This built-in replication ensures your applications remain available even if there happens to be an issue within an Availability Zone. DynamoDB also supports global tables, a fully managed, multi-Region database that enhances reliability for applications that span multiple Regions.

Amazon Personalize helps you to quickly set up a customized personalization engine, with no machine learning (ML) expertise required. It performs near real-time personalization with low latency recommendation requests. And, it scales automatically to handle increased traffic without affecting performance, helping to ensure consistent performance even if traffic spikes.

Fargate is a technology that you can use to run Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS containers without provisioning clusters, so you only pay for what you consume. Using Fargate with Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS allows you to avoid the overhead of managing clusters, and it automatically scales resource capacity to meet application demand, ensuring there is no overprovisioning of resources.

AWS Glue allows you to build extract, transform, and load (ETL) workflows without managing any infrastructure. Its serverless capability ensures you only use the resources required for your data analytics workflow, keeping your workload efficient and requiring less energy consumption. Using AWS Glue, you can automate repetitive ETL and analytics workloads, reducing the need for manual intervention of managing resources that both saves energy and avoids overprovisioning.
