Build a sensor network using AWS IoT Core and Amazon DocumentDB
In this post, we discuss how you can build an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor network solution to process IoT sensor data through AWS IoT Core and store it with Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility). An IoT sensor network consists of multiple sensors and other devices like RFID readers made by various manufacturers, generating JSON […]
Amazon RDS for Oracle Transportable Tablespaces using RMAN
In this post, we show you how you can use the RMAN XTTS functionality to migrate from an Oracle database hosted on Amazon Elastic Compute CLoud (Amazon EC2) to Amazon RDS for Oracle. Combined with Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) integration, XTTS can help reduce the complexity of your migration strategy, reduce the number and copies of data and backups required (as well as associated storage space consumption), and reduce the application downtime associated with completing the migration of your data.
Improve performance of real-time analytics and mixed workloads using the Database In-Memory option on Amazon RDS for Oracle
In this post, I demonstrate how to improve the performance of real-time analytics and mixed workloads without impacting Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) using the Oracle Database In-Memory option for workloads running on Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle. The demand for real-time analytics requires analytic queries to be run in real time concurrently […]

Implement Oracle GoldenGate bidirectional replication between Amazon RDS for Oracle databases
In this post, we test Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) bidirectional replication between two Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle instances. This can allow mission-critical applications to be highly available across Regions and provide data redundancy and resilience. Active-active replication allows multiple database instances with the same application tables to support read/write operations running independently […]
Migrate on-premises SQL Server workloads to Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server using distributed availability groups
In this post, we provide a SQL Server Always On cluster database migration pattern solution to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Custom for SQL Server using distributed availability groups. This solution helps reduce the migration downtime through continuous data synchronization combined with a failover process. This post is not a high availability and disaster […]
