Robinhood & Amazon
Robinhood uses Amazon Web Services as its primary cloud infrastructure provider, with its mobile trading platform, web services, and data analytics running on AWS. Robinhood's market data processing, order routing, and real-time account management systems rely on AWS's high-availability compute and database services. As Robinhood expanded into retirement accounts (Robinhood Gold), cryptocurrency, and prediction markets in 2025, AWS's infrastructure supports the growing complexity of Robinhood's financial products.
Why it matters: Robinhood's mobile-first trading platform requires cloud infrastructure capable of handling extreme traffic spikes during market volatility events, and AWS's auto-scaling capabilities allow Robinhood to handle 10x-100x normal traffic volumes during meme stock events and market crashes without service interruptions. AWS gains a high-profile fintech customer whose infrastructure demands grow proportionally to its user growth.
