Many enterprises with applications that use Microsoft SQL Server workloads feel constrained by the punitive licensing costs. They are looking to save on MS SQL Server license commitments, and reduce their operational overhead and complexity. Learn how Zen helped their customer save 75& on licensing costs by migrating SQL Server workload to HAQM HAQM RDS, and dive deep on the technical challenges, solution architecture, key processes, and individual steps of the migration.

Tens of thousands of customers use HAQM Redshift to process exabytes of data per day and power analytics workloads such as business intelligence, predictive analytics, and real-time streaming analytics. Learn how Etleap integrates with new data sharing and cross-database querying capabilities in HAQM Redshift to enable workload isolation for diverse analytics use cases in customer environments. Etleap integrates with any data source and runs either as a hosted solution (SaaS) or inside your VPC.

HAQM RDS customers are looking for AWS Partners with specific database engine expertise to set up, operate, and scale relational databases in the cloud. To meet this need, we are relaunching the HAQM RDS Service Delivery Program, which now validates AWS Partners by database engine type. This allows customers to identify an HAQM RDS Partner that best meets their database engine-specific migration and implementation needs.

As databases are often a key component of internet infrastructure, IT departments may be challenged by poor connection management from the application. The Heimdall Proxy helps developers, database administrators, and architects horizontally scale out and optimize connections through connection pooling for HAQM HAQM RDS and HAQM Redshift without any application changes. As a result, you will reduce your database instance size and support higher user counts.

Infrastructure as code is one of the most important concepts used with cloud solutions, and AWS CloudFormation enables IaC by deploying stacks and provisioning resources on AWS using JSON or YAML files called templates. APN Ambassador Francois Rouxel from Slalom will show you how to create a hundred VPCs in one AWS region without providing any parameters, and how to easily establish a peering connection between two of them within a single line of code.

HAQM Redshift recently announced support for materialized views, which lead to significantly faster query performance on repeatable query workloads. That, in turn, reduces the time to deliver the datasets you need to produce your business insights. Matillion ETL for HAQM Redshift provides comprehensive enterprise-grade features to simplify and speed up building and maintaining these pipelines.

Built as a cloud-native service, Confluent Cloud offers developers a serverless experience with elastic scaling and pricing that charges only for what they stream. Confluent’s Kafka Connect HAQM Redshift Sink Connector exports Avro, JSON Schema, or Protobuf data from Apache Kafka topics to HAQM Redshift. The connector polls data from Kafka and writes this data to an HAQM Redshift database. Polling data is based on subscribed topics.

For microservices that predominantly write data, HAQM DynamoDB provides an “always on” experience without the need for careful capacity planning, resharding, and database maintenance. These capabilities make DynamoDB a popular database service for various parts of game platforms like player data, game state, session history, and leaderboards. Learn how to pair HAQM DynamoDB with an analytics solution like Rockset to automatically index your data for fast search, aggregations, and joins at scale.

As you design, develop, and build SaaS solutions on AWS, you must think about how you want to partition the data that belongs to each of your customers (tenants). In this post, experts from AWS SaaS Factory focus on what it means to implement the pooled model with HAQM DynamoDB. We’ll outline basic strategies to partition and isolate data by tenant, and illustrate common techniques you can use to avoid the “hot” partition problem that’s often associated with partitioning tenant data in a pooled model.

Oracle customers have common questions about their licensing options when considering deployment to AWS. Oracle customers who do not proactively confirm their options risk spending too much on licensing. Customers may also face an Oracle audit that could expose avoidable license compliance issues. AWS has a variety of options for customers considering deployment of Oracle to AWS. When done properly, customers can significantly optimize their Oracle license costs when deploying to the proper AWS service.
