Remember that Netflix runs their core product (content distribution) internally on their own CDN. All of the supporting technologies (billing, content discovery, etc.) is on AWS, but the core product is not.

- omarchowdhury 10y agoWithout the tech, no one sees the core products.
- user5994461 10y agoWithout the shows, the tech has nothing to show. Who's gonna pay for nothing?
- omarchowdhury 10y agoThose with the shows didn't build the tech, but Netflix did.
- antons_ghost 10y agoAnd now Netflix is even building shows.
- rbranson 10y agoThis was a pretty recent change. Netflix has classically relied on third-party CDN providers. They launched the streaming service in 2007, and it took them 9 years to move 100% of their traffic to their own CDN infrastructure. That said, they still have one of the largest AWS footprints.
