Just think about what it takes to process the tens of millions of financial transactions that are generated every hour of every day as Amazon customers buy stuff, sign up for Prime, read e-books on their Kindle e-readers, watch videos on their Fire TVs and Fire tablets, as Amazon pays hundreds of thousands of suppliers and vendors, as inventory moves in and out of warehouses, and as AWS customers get billed for their usage!
