AWS helps power FanDuel's growth into new markets

America's leading sports gaming company FanDuel has selected Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its strategic cloud provider to expand into new markets across the U.S. and Canada.

Leveraging AWS's proven, secure, and highly performant infrastructure, FanDuel is scaling its support of millions of simultaneous players as they place bets, watch live content, and access real-time features, the cloud giant said in a press release on Wednesday.

"FanDuel is one of the largest users of AWS edge solutions and a perfect example of an organization using our consistent cloud infrastructure at the edge to help ensure regulatory compliance, while also increasing their performance, security, and scalability. AWS will continue to provide the capabilities needed to help reduce FanDuel's time to market as they expand into new regions and continue to provide players with low latency gaming experiences," said Jan Hofmeyr, vice president of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Edge.

Additionally, FanDuel is leveraging AWS Customer Carbon Footprint Tool and other tools to reduce its environmental impact and make operations more energy-efficient

"AWS has proven it can provide a secure and reliable infrastructure that helps scale our business quickly into new and existing markets while meeting important regulatory requirements. This expansion regionally is part of FanDuel's broader work with AWS, which includes the use of AWS Outposts and Local Zones to help drive our performance," said Shane Sweeney, senior vice president, Technology for FanDuel.
