Coinbase is a digital currency wallet and platform
company based in San Francisco. To protect its
customers from attacks, Coinbase engineers
must be able to quickly, reliably, and securely
deploy updates and new features for all company
systems, with some software deployments
needing 20 hours or longer to finish. Adopting a
serverless architecture, anchored by AWS Lambda
and Step Functions, enables the company to
increase the rate of successful mission critical
deployments from 90 percent to 97 percent.
The new approach substantially reduces the
complexity of Coinbase's architecture, which in
turn improves visibility for the team to monitor
and troubleshoot, ultimately reducing the number
of trouble tickets about failed deploys. It also
simplifies the process of auditing, since they
have a single audit trail for all deployments.

"With deployers built on AWS Step Functions and
AWS Lambda, our engineers can move code into
production safely. The upshot is that we can
release new features more often, respond quicker
to security threats, and more easily achieve our
SLAs. This adds up to an even better, more secure,
customer experience."
–Graham Jenson, Senior Infrastructure Engineer, Coinbase
