Delivery Hero scales to handle 10M daily orders using Amazon EventBridge Scheduler

Delivery Hero relies on Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, a fully-managed serverless scheduling service, to manage their massive rider operations serving 10 million daily orders through 3 million registered riders. Using serverless scheduling with Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, Delivery Hero transformed their traditional cron-job based architecture to support 5x their previous load while reducing database storage costs by 20%.

"We needed a solution that could reliably handle time-sensitive operations like rider clock-ins, clock-outs and break management, which are critical for our business operations. Amazon EventBridge Scheduler provided the perfect scalable solution", said Mario Kristo, Vice President of Engineering at Delivery Hero. The company implemented Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, taking advantage of its native AWS service integrations further eliminating the need for additional tech investments. By transitioning from traditional cron jobs to Serverless scheduling, Delivery Hero eliminated processing delays, improved operational reliability, and gained the ability to seamlessly scale to billions of schedules.

Amazon EventBridge's pay-as-you-go model enabled Delivery Hero to predictably manage costs while scaling, and its deep integration with other AWS services simplified the implementation process. "The Serverless architecture and seamless AWS integration gave us the confidence to roll out this solution globally, making it future-proof for our growing operations." said Mario Kristo, Vice President of Engineering at Delivery Hero.
