Case Study: Airport Nuremberg achieves scalable, compliant web infrastructure and 60–70% cost savings with Amazon Web Services

Airport Nuremberg - Customer Case Study

Albrecht Dürer Airport Nuremberg is a busy mid‑size German airport handling about four million passengers a year; its website provides flight information, parking reservations and other e‑commerce services. The airport’s third‑party hosting struggled with traffic spikes during events like bad weather or strikes, and buying extra capacity was prohibitively expensive, so they needed a scalable, secure solution that met German data‑protection rules.

Berlin-based Infopark built a new platform on Amazon Web Services (using EC2, Elastic Load Balancing, S3 and CloudFront) that keeps data where required for compliance, provides elasticity for fluctuating demand, and supports ongoing development. The result: a flexible, secure infrastructure and estimated hosting cost reductions of about 60–70% compared with the previous setup.
