All the numbers: Amazon Prime Day 2026 powered by AWS

Why are they using EC2, Fargate, ECS and Lambda all at once for the same site?

Prime Day is a great day to encourage people to use tools like CamelCamelCamel or Keepa to see if the "deals" are actually deals.

For me, Prime Day is not a time for good deals, but a time for my packages to be delayed. I hope you won’t need anything in a hurry for a week after it.

hopefully they will re-write their stack with AI and save about 80% of the compute (and electricity) needed for that service.

cheapest prices are always two weeks before any public sale

that includes "Black Friday"

then there are hilarious prices like twice what it was two years ago

Amazon certainly puts up some impressive numbers.

For example, Amazon warehouse workers experience serious injury rates that are roughly 2 times the industry average!

~6.5-6.7 per 100 workers at Amazon compared to ~3.2-3.8 per 100 workers for the overall industry.
