SportPursuit is a high growth ecommerce business which has been on AWS since the company started in 2011. Our flash sales business model means that we need to support sudden peaks in traffic smoothly scaling while optimising for cost, to enable us to deliver great discounts to our customers. As well as our own site we host an ecommerce platform for other brands which need just as much care and attention as the flagship brand.
