How Customers are Benefiting by Using Global Accelerator
AWS Global Accelerator:
AWS Global Accelerator is a networking service that helps you improve the availability, performance, and security of your public applications.
Global Accelerator provides two global static public IPs that act as a fixed entry point to your application endpoints, such as Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, and elastic IPs.
Why AWS Global Accelerator?
Take advantage of the performance, security, and availability of the AWS Global Infrastructure to onboard your user traffic at one of the Global Accelerator edge locations. Users can access your application endpoints through static IP addresses to enjoy deterministic routing independent of DNS.
- Improve network performance for your applications by up to 60%.
- Deliver highly available applications with fast failover for multi-Region and multi-AZ architectures.
- Achieve deterministic routing by removing DNS cache dependencies.
- Protect your applications from DDoS attacks closer to the source.
AWS Global Accelerator features:
1 . Global Edge Network
AWS Global Accelerator uses a global network of 104 Points of Presence in 88 cities across 48 countries. AWS Global Accelerator Edge locations are located in:
2 . Static anycast IP addresses

Here I Am Discussing How Skyscanner is Benefited From Using AWS Global Accelerator Service
Skyscanner Improves Response Time by 98% Using AWS Global Accelerator.
Skyscanner, a leading travel booking company owned by the Trip.com Group, helps 100 million people a month book flights, hotel rooms, and car rentals. The company delivers content in 30 languages, and its app has been downloaded 100 million times.
Skyscanner had too much riding on one Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance. “We were serving all our apex domains through one elastic IP address in one region,” says Stewart Wallace, senior software engineer at Skyscanner. “That meant a large share of our worldwide traffic was routed through a single point of failure.”
A travel-booking service that sees 100 million unique users a month, Skyscanner had built and deployed its service during a period of fast growth “in a weekend,” according to Wallace. “But as we continued to grow, we had issues with latency, and we couldn’t afford downtime for maintenance. Latency, downtime, and certificate problems can all cause users to jump to our competitors, so we wanted to find a better solution before we experienced a serious failure.”
Benefits
- Improves response time by 98%
- Saves 70% a month by running on Amazon EC2 Spot Instances
- Reduces application downtime with failovers in less than 30 seconds
- Frees engineers to build new services and innovate
