Case Study: Autodesk achieves 50% faster simulation startup with Amazon Web Services

Autodesk Boosts Startup Performance by 50% Using Amazon ECS

Autodesk needed a serverless-first way to move its simulation products to the cloud so it could reduce server management, lower operational overhead, and improve startup performance for customers. To support this shift, Autodesk used Amazon Web Services services including Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate, along with AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge, to rebuild its cloud-connected architecture.

Amazon Web Services helped Autodesk implement SOCI with Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate, which cut simulation startup time by 50% for some workloads. The new setup also improved scalability, reduced idle compute costs, sped up onboarding, and let Autodesk deliver updates and new features continuously without disrupting customers.
