Amazon is this super well oiled machine. People never think of it that way. They just think: 'Amazon: Oh yeah that e-commerce store where I buy my gadgets and groceries'. But it's so much more complex and nuanced. What I always loved about it is the self-dogfooding that happens with AWS. The fact the store uses it means they get to use AWS for free (in a sense). It's pretty clever.
