Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience - Amazon continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform.

Founded by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com website started in 1995 as a place to buy books because of the unique customer experience the Web could offer book lovers. Bezos believed that only the Internet could offer customers the convenience of browsing a selection of millions of book titles in a single sitting. During the first 30 days of business, Amazon fulfilled orders for customers in 50 states and 45 countries - all shipped from his Seattle-area garage.

Amazon's evolution from Web site to e-commerce partner to development platform is driven by the spirit of innovation that is part of the company's DNA. The world's brightest technology minds come to Amazon.com to research and develop technology that improves the lives of shoppers and sellers around the world.

At the moment we are looking at using the elastic load balancer provided by Amazon web services in a trial fashion. Our company has been migrating more and more of our in-house developed applications from on-site platforms to the AWS web platform. Part of this involves routing traffic across the newly deployed microservices and we are looking into using the elastic load balancer to help with this. So far it seems promising although our scale is admittedly low. We have not yet decided to migrate everything over to elb from our previous setup however results are promising as with anything else on the AWS suite the more we use it the more we like it. As far as business problems being addressed it's simply a matter of the security of being the host of the cloud versus having to maintain everything on site and as such the more options we use provided by Amazon web services the less we have to do ourselves.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Most obviously it works great for routing traffic between components hosted on Amazon web services
The ability to dynamically spin up connections is fantastic.
In general the ease of use and configuration is a selling point.

Things done well

So far our experience has been limited with the ability for elb to handle transactions when only part of the platform is on Amazon web services.

Things done poorly

It really is a straight-up situation. From my current experience if you have two or more services hosted on Amazon web services that need transactions between each other with a variable flow of traffic then elb is a fantastic method for routing that traffic and making sure that no one back and component gets overloaded with requests while other existing components are just standing there idle waiting for some traffic. As noted earlier in my review we are still doing a trial run with the service as not all of our components are hosted on AWS yet and we aren't having as great luck with transactions between hosted and non-hosted but that could also simply be a learning curve on our part.

Dynamically spitting off new connections as back end or front end services are spun up
Ease of integration within the AWS platform
The pay as you need the mentality of AWS in general and in specific with the elb is a wonderful benefit
