Companies that use Amazon EKS

I noticed that Amazon EKS users span a remarkably diverse range of sectors, but they share a common thread: they're building digital-first products that require scale and reliability. These aren't companies dabbling in tech, they're companies where software is the core business. I see fintech platforms processing billions in payments, healthcare companies serving millions of patients, SaaS providers managing massive data operations, and marketplaces connecting buyers and sellers. Whether it's Remitly moving money across borders, Verkada streaming security video, or Property Finder powering real estate searches across MENA, these companies depend on their infrastructure staying up and performing under pressure.

The funding and size data reveals a growth-stage sweet spot. While I see some mature companies like Constellation Brands and established unicorns like Ripple, the majority are Series A through Series D companies with 50 to 500 employees. They've proven product-market fit and are now scaling rapidly. They're past the scrappy startup phase but not yet enterprise behemoths. They're in that crucial window where infrastructure choices either enable or constrain growth.
