The journey from legacy to cloud - native success
summary
Legacy PIM running on three EC2 boxes that cost north of $250k/year gets replaced with a serverless pipeline using S3 + Transfer Family + Glue + DataBrew + Athena feeding existing e‑commerce and analytics systems, enabling product updates every 30 minutes and hourly pricing instead of once a day. The platform handles 40 million SKUs, cuts infrastructure spend by 90%, removes painful reboots and patching, and opens paths to SageMaker/Bedrock AI use cases.
