AWS re:Invent 2014 | (BDT312) Using the Cloud to Scale from a Database to a Data Platform

Опубликовано 21 ноября 2014, 19:50

Scaling highly available database infrastructure to 100x, 1000x, and beyond has historically been one of the hardest technical challenges that any successful web business must face. This is quickly changing with fully-managed database services such as Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon Redshift, as the scaling efforts which previously required herculean effort are now as simple as an API call.

Over the last few years, Twilio has evolved their database infrastructure to a pipeline consisting of Amazon SQS, Sharded MySQL, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, Amazon EMR and Amazon Redshift. In this session, Twilio cover show they achieved success, specifically:
- How they replaced their data pipeline deployed to Amazon EC2 to meet their scaling needs with zero downtime.
- How they adopted Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon Redshift at the same scale as their MySQL infrastructure, at 1/5th the cost and operational overhead.
- Why they believe adopting managed database services like Amazon DynamoDB is key to accelerating delivery of value to their customers.
