Re: Find the Technology
Did an Amazon order last week via their mobile app. This order would have touched a lot of systems managed by many providers: The mobile phone would have been manufactured using many different systems to produce the internals and case. Mobile carrier would have telco infrastructure (transmitters, base stations, billing systems, DCs) to support the data services Amazon - having direct connects with mobile carriers; web services (compute and serverless functions) to support the ordering and billing systems to acknowledge and process my order. These systems then either go into queueing by humans to pack or could be automated. Once the order is processed, they will prepare it for delivery, working with their chosen logistics company. Eventually the delivery company will process using scanning and routing systems to have the package sent and notifications sent to me letting me know the stage of the delivery. Once the order is delivered, there will be acknowledgements sent from the delivery company back to Amazon and then routed to my email address to say it's been delivered.165Views5likes0Comments
