Story
Inside Expedia Group, datacenter exit planning used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United States. Migration squads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Expedia Group uses AWS Lambda from AWS as the working layer for workload migration. Amazon Web Services is the leading public cloud for compute, storage, data, and AI services, used to run production systems at global scale. The practical change is simple: datacenter exit planning has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Expedia Group gets from AWS is a durable place to run datacenter exit planning and a way for migration squads to see the same workload migration at the same time.
