Story
Inside Robinhood, platform operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in financials groups working out of the United States. Infrastructure and application teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Robinhood uses AWS Lambda from AWS as the working layer for cloud landing zones. Amazon Web Services is the leading public cloud for compute, storage, data, and AI services, used to run production systems at global scale. The practical change is simple: platform operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Robinhood gets from AWS is a durable place to run platform operations and a way for infrastructure and application teams to see the same cloud landing zones at the same time.
