Case Study: Luno achieves secure, scalable global growth with Amazon Web Services

Luno - Customer Case Study

Luno is a global cryptocurrency platform (wallet, exchange, and API) founded to make Bitcoin accessible across emerging markets. As a cash‑constrained startup, it needed a cost‑effective IT foundation that delivered iron‑clad security, 24/7 uptime, easy automation, and the ability to scale quickly as it expanded across regions.

Luno joined AWS Activate and built a multi‑Availability Zone architecture in EU (Ireland) and APAC (Singapore) using Elastic Load Balancing, EC2, S3 backups, Amazon RDS for sensitive data, Amazon VPC and IAM, plus serverless and analytics pilots (Lambda, Redshift). The result is a resilient, scalable platform that handles rapidly doubling traffic, survives failures without customer disruption, reduces operational overhead and audit time, and gives Luno a security and agility advantage over traditional competitors.
