Amazon Web Services Inc. has a long history of showcasing its big cloud computing customer wins, and today it announced another one: ride-hailing company Lyft Inc.

Lyft said it’s moving its entire information technology infrastructure to Amazon in order to enhance its marketplace and drive further growth of its bike and scooter business. It also plans to use Amazon’s services to improve its self-driving car technology.

Lyft’s decision to go all-in on Amazon isn’t much of a surprise since it was already a major customer. It runs most of its operations, backend platforms and website on Amazon’s cloud, using a range of services that include its databases, serverless infrastructure, machine learning and analytics tools. One of the reasons it chose Amazon infrastructure was its ability to scale up quickly during periods of peak demand, such as on holidays and during weekends, the company said.

“By operating on AWS, we are able to scale and innovate quickly to provide new features and improvements to our services and deliver exceptional transportation experiences to our growing community of Lyft riders,” Lyft Chief Technology Officer Chris Lambert said in a statement.

One of the main AWS services Lyft uses is Amazon DynamoDB, which is a high-performance database that can support workloads including a ride-tracking system. It also stores information in a massive data lake that runs on the Amazon Simple Storage Service. This data is analyzed using the Amazon Redshift data warehouse to help the company better predict demand for its services.

Lyft can therefore be seen as a solid reference for a wide range of Amazon’s cloud services in what is a very specialized ride-hailing industry.

“With AWS, Lyft is poised to lead the next major transformation in autonomous motor vehicle technology, by leveraging our industry-leading portfolio of cloud services, proven operational expertise, and unmatched reliability,” Mike Clayville, vice president of worldwide commercial sales at AWS, said in a statement.

Last month, Amazon announced another big customer win, Choice Hotels International Inc., which also said it was going all-in on the company’s cloud platform.
