Did AWS just pay them to write this? I was hoping for an interesting article exploring the complexities of a massively distributed and high-throughout system, but I just read “we connected these managed AWS services together and it’s cool”

Hopefully further instalments might actually talk about the problems they faced building this out, and their unique challenges.

This is part of their technical blog ( https://medium.com/mcdonalds-technical-blog ), which looks like an outreach attempt to help with recruitment (hackathons etc). Probably someone went to a PM saying "we need to talk about our stack, how do we make it sound sexy and cool?" and this is what they got back.
