Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is a scalable, highly durable, and fully managed database service for operating mission-critical MongoDB workloads. You can use the same MongoDB application code, drivers, and tools to run, manage, and scale workloads on Amazon DocumentDB without having to worry about managing the underlying infrastructure. Spring Boot provides a quick and […]

This is the second in a two-part series about scaling applications globally using multi-Region Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Amazon Aurora Global Database. In Part 1, you learned the architecture patterns and foundational pillars of a multi-Region application design. In this post, we use the read local and write global design pattern to scale, […]

In the first post of this series, Enable Kerberos authentication with Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle – Part 1, we showed you how to implement Kerberos authentication with Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle to centralize the storage and management of credentials across multiple databases and improve your organization’s overall security profile. In this post, we […]

While migrating workloads from the Azure Cloud to the AWS Cloud, organizations explore optimal, managed database services to replace their Cosmos DB databases.
