DAT352-R – Migrate Your Nonrelational Database to AWS

In this session, learn how to migrate a nonrelational database, such as Cassandra or MongoDB, to DynamoDB. We review how AWS DMS and the AWS SCT can help you migrate quickly and securely, and we show you how DynamoDB implements the functionality of your source database.

DAT357-R – Build Internet-Scale Apps with Amazon DynamoDB

DynamoDB is a nonrelational database that delivers reliable performance at any scale. It’s a fully managed, multi-region, multi-master database that provides consistent single-digit millisecond latency and offers built-in security, backup and restore, and in-memory caching. Come to this session to learn how to build internet-scale applications with DynamoDB.

DAT347 – How Amazon Migrated Items and Offers for Retail, Marketplace, and Digital to DynamoDB

In this session, learn how Amazon.com used AWS DMS to migrate more than 600 billion records to DynamoDB in two months. We address horizontally scaling the application (and avoiding the problem of limited database connections), high availability, and cost reduction compared to Oracle databases. We also discuss DynamoDB advantages, including better backup and restore capabilities, point-in-time recovery, simplified architecture, and global secondary indexes.
