AWS helps Mercado Livre process more than 40 purchases per second in 18 countries

Mercado Livre registered 40 purchases per second in the first quarter of 2023, with 53% of shipments made within 24 hours. Data is fundamental to building the ecosystem and promoting synergy between sellers and buyers. In this video, Fernando Yunes, senior vice president of e-commerce and country lead of Mercado Livre Brasil, and Thiago Oliveira, director of software engineering for cloud and platforms, talk about the strategy and technological evolution that underpinned the company's entire growth, including migration from a monolithic architecture to a microservices-oriented one and, later, the creation of the Fury platform, which guarantees developers ease in the development and operation process, offering database service abstractions through AWS services. There are 17,000 databases and 56,000 Data Services that generate 900 million requests per minute between all communications from the approximately 24 thousand microservices in Mercado Livre.
