Deliveroo on AWS

Founded in 2013, Deliveroo works with more than 140,000 restaurants, 10,000 grocery partners and 150,000 riders, delivering meals in over 800 cities across Europe and Asia. When Deliveroo turned to Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2017, meeting demand was a key challenge. Using AWS has allowed Deliveroo to improve service quality, reducing food delivery times by 20 percent while also cutting costs. AWS’s scalable infrastructure now helps Deliveroo meet the fluctuating demands of delivering food in 12 markets worldwide, while machine learning (ML) and data analytics services provide the intelligence to manage delivery logistics and offer customers personalized restaurant recommendations. In this competitive market sector, Deliveroo needs to do more than just deliver food. It needs to deliver an exceptional customer experience, too.
