Story
Whitbread grew analytics hosting faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Data engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Amazon EC2 put data platform operations on AWS. Amazon Web Services is the leading public cloud for compute, storage, data, and AI services, used to run production systems at global scale. Whitbread keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so data engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier data platform operations. Analytics hosting is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join data engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
