The company integrated AWS Lambda with Amazon API Gateway, DynamoDB, and CloudWatch for a scalable mobile application with reduced infrastructure costs. They utilized the Serverless Framework for resource orchestration and automation, enabling a fully-automated deployment pipeline using AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild.
