Case Study: Autodesk achieves near-real-time design insights with Amazon Web Services

Delivering Near-Real-Time Insights Using AWS Lambda with Autodesk

Autodesk needed a faster, more scalable way to deliver near-real-time design insights for Autodesk Forma, especially as simulation demand fluctuated and existing Kubernetes-based workflows for tasks like noise analysis scaled too slowly. The team also wanted better workload isolation and less infrastructure management so engineers could focus on core product features and user experience, using Amazon Web Services services such as AWS Lambda.

Amazon Web Services helped Autodesk implement a serverless simulation engine with AWS Lambda to run on-demand calculations and improve productivity. The new approach scaled up to 100x the expected launch traffic and delivered new capabilities to end users, while reducing operational overhead and enabling the team to spend more time building business logic instead of managing infrastructure.
