Early Cloud Adopters Bridge the Data and Security Gap in Travel
[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] Doesn’t matter if you’ve finished ticking off your travel bucket list, chances are you’re already well familiar with Expedia and Airbnb, which have become huge success stories both within and outside of the travel industry. As one of the first online travel agencies and property marketplaces respectively, Expedia and Airbnb have no doubt blazed the trail by adopting AI and cloud computing relatively early in their business. With Amazon Web Services (AWS) at the back-end, the companies have bridged the gap in data processing and security, successfully standing out from the pack to create exciting new experiences for customers. Maximizing Performance to Accommodate Customer Demand Airbnb in particular, has come a long way since its humble beginnings. What started as two flatmates hosting conference attendees on air mattresses for extra cash, grew into an international peer-to-peer lodging platform that has since welcomed over 1.5 billion guests, forever changing how wanderlusts find accommodation. However, faced with service administration challenges in 2009, the one-year-old startup was struggling due to high customer demand, thus migrating nearly all of their functions to Amazon Web Services (AWS) for better efficiency. The entire database migration was done within just 15 minutes, meaning that users did not have to experience prolonged downtime, and Airbnb now uses Amazon Elastic MapReduce to process plus analyze over 50 Gigabytes of data daily, while housing backups and static files on Amazon Simple Storage Service. To simplify time-consuming administrative tasks, AWS Management Console completes replication, scaling and other difficult procedures associated with databases with a basic API call, enabling maximum performance across the board. Fueling Business Growth with Data Processing Prowess Expedia had engaged the AWS team in 2010 with a similar goal: improve processing speed and accuracy to keep site abandonment…
