Netflix

Netflix runs a cloud‑native microservices control plane almost entirely on AWS (EC2, RDS/MySQL, DynamoDB, Cassandra, CockroachDB, Kafka, S3, etc.) while its proprietary Open Connect CDN appliances form a separate data plane deployed at ISPs for video delivery.[2][3][6][12] Client apps (web, mobile, TV) talk to backend microservices via APIs/GraphQL, with extensive use of in‑house open‑source tooling (Zuul, Eureka, Spinnaker, EVCache) and AWS services for storage, streaming, and analytics.[3][6][8][12]
