Ellie Mae announced it is moving its infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to rebuild its core applications and create new digital products for homebuyers.
Ellie Mae will use AWS’ computers, storage, database, serverless, and containers to simplify the loan process for its customers and partners.
“We process more than a third of mortgage applications in the United States, and use AWS to help us deliver on our mission of the true digital mortgage, so lenders can achieve compliance, quality, and efficiency,” Ellie Mae Senior Vice President Satheesh Ravala said in a release. “AWS gives us an unmatched set of cloud services and a highly reliable infrastructure to work with as we continue to build solutions that provide borrowers and lenders with the best digital loan experiences.
“As a result of early successes on AWS, we are confident that their services will continue to give us what we need to be nimble, innovate, achieve results, and cut costs while we grow and expand our business well into the future,” Ravala added.
The companies said migrating to AWS has enabled Ellie Mae to adopt a microservices architecture to support its applications, regardless of scale, load, or complexity.
“Leading companies in financial services like Ellie Mae turn to AWS for the agility, security, performance, and cloud services required to operate at scale and with speed,” AWS Vice President Mike Clayville said. “Ellie Mae is able to use the breadth and depth of the world’s leading cloud to be more efficient and innovative, refocusing their manpower and capital on ways to automate the mortgage lending process instead of infrastructure procurement and management.”
