Brazil and Argentina-based online commerce and payments provider, Mercado Libre, has picked AWS as its primary cloud provider. This will help the company accelerate the launch of its new services and support its regional expansion.

Established in 1999, Mercado Libre is a prime e-commerce technology company, which connects businesses across 18 countries with more than 76 million active users. With AWS providing it access to quality cloud opportunities, it will be able to build its scalability, security, and performance.
