OcadoOcado Uses AWS Lambda for Resilience
Ocado, a consumer staples organization in the United Kingdom, uses AWS Lambda from AWS to support reliability engineering for SRE and operations.
AWS Lambda became the place Ocado uses to keep critical services recoverable across regions instead of a single room of servers.
“Consumer Staples work at Ocado spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United Kingdom.”
“SRE and operations asked for a shared way to run reliability engineering without freezing local judgment.”

Story
Consumer Staples work at Ocado spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United Kingdom. Backup and failover was splitting across regional habits. SRE and operations asked for a shared way to run reliability engineering without freezing local judgment.
AWS (AWS Lambda) is what they standardized on. Amazon Web Services is the leading public cloud for compute, storage, data, and AI services, used to run production systems at global scale. Ocado uses it as the system of record for backup and failover, with SRE and operations as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
