https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ As part of my annual tradition to tell you about how AWS makes Prime Day possible, I am happy to be able to share some chart-topping metrics (check out my https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/how-aws-powered-amazons-biggest-day-ever/, https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/prime-day-2017-powered-by-aws/, https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-prime-day-2019-powered-by-aws/, https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-prime-day-2020-powered-by-aws/, https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/prime-day-2021-two-chart-topping-days/, and https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-prime-day-2022-aws-for-the-win/ posts for a look back). Prime Day by the Numbers As always, Prime Day was powered by AWS.

Here’s a visual comparison: AWS CloudTrail – AWS CloudTrail processed over 830 billion events in support of Prime Day 2023.

Amazon CloudFront – Amazon CloudFront handled a peak load of over 500 million HTTP requests per minute, for a total of over 1 trillion HTTP requests during Prime Day. Amazon SQS – During Prime Day, Amazon SQS set a new traffic record by processing 86 million messages per second at peak.
