Use case typeInfrastructure modernizationUpdated 6 days ago
Crypto.com is a global cryptocurrency platform offering trading, payments, wallets, exchange services, and Visa card products for more than 150 million users worldwide. To support unpredictable 24/7 market traffic, the company optimized its containerized infrastructure on AWS. It moved key backend workloads onto Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, automated node provisioning with Karpenter, and migrated suitable microservices to AWS Graviton processors to improve scalability and price-performance.
