Description

As one of the most-used services at amazon, Weblab is at the heart of billions of dollars in product decisions. Your favorite feature on an Amazon.com website or the iOS and Android apps was probably tested and launched using Weblab. Amazon retail, Music, Prime, Alexa, Seller Central, and many other groups use Weblab every day to change how the world shops, sells, reads, learns, plays, chills out, and grooves out.
