Case Study: Stock Exchange of Thailand achieves 20–30% faster time-to-market with Amazon Web Services

Stock Exchange of Thailand Reduces Time-to-Market by 20-30% Using AWS

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) is a national securities exchange that serves institutional, domestic, and international investors. SET faced strict data residency and security requirements, growing customer complaints about slow access to market data, and scalability limits on its legacy infrastructure—issues that hindered global expansion and consumed significant operational effort to patch vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

SET adopted a phased migration to AWS, using services such as EC2, RDS, S3, KMS, and load balancing to rebuild platforms like FundConnext and the blockchain-enabled LiVE. The move delivered immediate scalability (handling up to 100,000 simultaneous logins), faster innovation (LiVE launched in eight months), and built-in compliance that saved an estimated 20–30% in approval time—while reducing the operational burden of security patching and enabling future AI and analytics work.
