About the customer:

an Alexa skills service. This is a light service written as a JavaScript lambda and an Express/Node server application backed by DynamoDB
a document viewing and annotation service. This is made up of a Node app and a conversion service (knight rider) written in Java and backed by S3 and DynamoDB. It also uses SQS and has a small amount of Scala
