AWS helps America’s leading sports gaming
company scale into new markets while meeting important regulatory
requirements
Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company
(NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced that FanDuel, the leading sports
gaming company in the U.S. (LON: FLTR), has selected AWS as its
strategic cloud provider, deepening its relationship with the
world’s leading cloud to help power the company’s growth into new
markets across the U.S. and Canada. FanDuel is leveraging AWS’s
proven, secure, and highly performant infrastructure to scale its
support of millions of simultaneous players as they place bets,
watch live content, and access real-time features.
“AWS has proven it can provide a secure and reliable
infrastructure that helps scale our business quickly into new and
existing markets while meeting important regulatory requirements,”
said Shane Sweeney, senior vice president, Technology for FanDuel.
“This expansion regionally is part of FanDuel’s broader work with
AWS, which includes the use of AWS Outposts and Local Zones to help
drive our performance.”
“FanDuel is growing at an incredible pace, and we’re excited to
collaborate with them to deliver services and solutions that help
fuel their success,” said Jan Hofmeyr, vice president of Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Edge. “FanDuel is one of the
largest users of AWS edge solutions and a perfect example of an
organization using our consistent cloud infrastructure at the edge
to help ensure regulatory compliance, while also increasing their
performance, security, and scalability. AWS will continue to
provide the capabilities needed to help reduce FanDuel’s time to
market as they expand into new regions and continue to provide
players with low latency gaming experiences.”
Since FanDuel’s launch in 2009, the company has leveraged AWS’s
broad portfolio of cloud services, including compute, storage,
analytics, and databases, to develop game enhancements and keep
fans connected to their favorite teams. Working with AWS, FanDuel
can quickly move key workloads to the cloud from their remaining
physical infrastructure. FanDuel is also working alongside AWS to
reduce its environmental impact and make operations more
energy-efficient by using tools such as the AWS Customer Carbon
Footprint Tool to benchmark its carbon footprint against
sustainability goals. FanDuel continues to explore new ways to
innovate with AWS, including the use of machine learning and
generative artificial intelligence with Amazon Bedrock to enhance
its platform.
