Discover how Amazon uses Python to power AWS, Alexa, automation, and data science—learn real examples, tools, and how Python shapes Amazon’s tech future.

When most people think about Amazon, they picture a huge online store, super fast shipping, or maybe even the tech behind Amazon Web Services, or AWS.

But there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that most folks don’t see. Behind all the product recommendations, fast delivery, and cloud tools, there’s a whole world of programming working to make it all happen.

And one of the most important tools in that world is Python.

In this article, I’m going to break down how Amazon uses Python across different parts of its business—everything from running AWS to powering their online store.

Each week, I dive deep into Python and beyond, breaking it down into bite-sized pieces. While everyone else gets just a taste, my premium readers get the whole feast! Don't miss out on the full experience – join me today!
