It was the week before New Year’s, and Mia, an IT manager for a growing e-commerce company, was feeling cautiously optimistic. She had spent weeks preparing for the holiday rush, but when the social media campaign went viral, traffic to the company’s site surged well beyond expectations. At first, she celebrated the success—until the site started to slow down. Mia scrambled to scale resources in AWS, juggling manual adjustments while troubleshooting customer complaints. Instead of celebrating the season, she spent her holidays firefighting a problem she hoped would never come. Reflecting on the experience, Mia realized that leveraging fully Managed AWS Services could have automated scaling, improved reliability, and spared her the holiday stress.
