Amazon.com is one of the world’s largest technology and e-commerce companies.

Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Amazon began as an online bookstore but quickly expanded into selling a vast range of products, including electronics, clothing, household goods, and more.

Beyond e-commerce, Amazon is a major player in several other industries:

  • ☁️ Cloud computing through Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the largest cloud platforms in the world
  • 🎬 Digital streaming with services like Prime Video
  • 📦 Logistics and delivery, with its own shipping network
  • 🧠 Technology and AI, including devices like Alexa and Echo

Amazon is known for its focus on customer convenience, fast delivery (such as Prime shipping), and a wide selection of products and services.
