Case Study: The Weather Company achieves global, scalable weather analytics with Amazon Redshift

The Weather Company - Customer Case Study

The Weather Company, a global weather data and forecasting provider, needed to replace a costly, hard-to-scale legacy environment spread across 13 data centers and built on older systems. Using Amazon Redshift as part of its AWS-based data analytics stack, along with other cloud services, the company sought a more scalable, cloud-native platform to support forecasting, APIs, and analytics for billions of locations worldwide.

Amazon Redshift helped The Weather Company power analytics for services like its WeatherFX ad engine, while the broader AWS solution enabled faster product delivery and global scale. The result was a highly robust platform handling 10 to 15 billion transactions per day, a reduction in on-premises data centers from 13 to 6, and savings of nearly $1 million per year on one forecasting application, all while freeing engineers to focus more on innovation than infrastructure.
