Case Study: e-Travel achieves 99.99% availability and rapid international expansion with Amazon Web Services

e-Travel - Customer Case Study

e-Travel is an Athens-based online travel agency operating 11 websites and serving customers in more than 60 countries. Focused on fast time to market, geographic expansion, and continuous delivery, the company found its colocated and managed hosting slowed development, caused manual operational overhead, and risked customer-facing downtime after a series of hardware failures.

The company migrated to AWS beginning in 2012 and now runs its booking systems and sites in an Amazon VPC using services such as EC2, ELB, S3, RDS, SNS/SQS, CloudSearch, and Kinesis. The move delivered 99.99% availability, elastic scaling to handle traffic spikes, reduced administration so developers can prototype faster, and helped drive 30% year‑over‑year sales growth while enabling rapid international expansion.
