Case Study: SHAREit achieves global scale and rapid, cost-efficient scalability with Amazon Web Services (AWS)

SHAREit - Customer Case Study

SHAREit, a global mobile‑internet company founded in 2015, operates a cross‑platform file‑sharing and entertainment app used by about 1.5 billion people in 39 languages. Rapid growth and a user base that generates tens of thousands of concurrent requests per second created challenges in data storage, server maintenance, architecture optimization, cost control, and reliable global delivery as the company expanded into emerging markets.

SHAREit built its infrastructure on AWS—using services such as EC2, ELB, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront, ECS, Lambda and analytics tools like Kinesis, EMR, Glue and Athena—supported by AWS Enterprise Support. The migration delivered automated, pay‑per‑use scalability, higher availability, lower development and operation costs, faster product iteration, improved real‑time analytics and media processing, and the global coverage needed to focus resources on innovation and international growth.
