From cloud to community: Our AWS highlights
From delivering enterprise-scale solutions to building thriving AWS communities, here’s how we’re helping organisations modernise, migrate, and innovate on AWS.
We partnered with IAG Loyalty to reimagine how its customers earn and spend Avios points online, creating a platform that could scale across brands, products, and regions.
Working collaboratively through event storming and domain-driven design (DDD), Leighton designed, built, and launched the new Avios Shop, an AWS-powered, event-driven commerce platform delivered from proof of concept to live launch in just 14 weeks.
Built with a small, focused team of six engineers, the Avios Shop is now a core part of IAG Loyalty’s retail operations fast, reliable, and designed to grow.
Delivered 7x faster than the internal 2-year estimate.
Scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient using fully event-driven architecture.
Marketed to 2m+ customers at launch, highlighting customer confidence in solution.
Delivered an enterprise-scale platform through lean, agile collaboration.
Storefront, middleware and order management system built to work seamlessly together.
Proven through 800+ automated and 30+ end-to-end tests ensuring enterprise-grade reliability from day one.
