“The strong resiliency posture allows two out of three regions to fail without customer impact, but geo-optimized routing also improved our overall customer experience,” Beer said. “Our strong partnership with AWS ensures that the infrastructure stack is frequently and automatically refreshed to improve our risk and resiliency posture and meet our security controls.”
The cloud advantage
JPMorgan Chase’s cloud journey with AWS began in 2020, and the launch of its consumer bank Chase in the UK was “built from the ground up on AWS,” Beer said. In 2023, the company had nearly 1,000 applications running on AWS, including core services such as deposits and payments. JPMorgan has also made use of AWS Graviton processors as part of the tightknit partnership.
The 225-year-old company runs about 50% of all e-commerce transactions in the US, playing a major role during Black Friday and Cyber Monday mega sales this past weekend. “This is why we have been reinventing the way we build global banking and payments infrastructure, and why we’ve pushed the element of the art of the possible in the cloud,” she said.
