Featured Success Stories
ISVs across every industry have found success modernizing applications on AWS Databases
“Amazon Aurora allowed me to do something innovative. We didn’t have to wait for infrastructure to be procured and provisioned, and we didn’t have to free up DBA’s.” – Lance Johnson, Director of Engineering Cloud R&D
"With Amazon Aurora, we’re moving up the stack to focus on delivering more value to our customers and not the virtual machines we’re managing." – Ed Brennan, Chief Architect for Acquia
"It’s a very rapid process from 'let’s do it,' to the proof of concept, to getting it done on Amazon Aurora. We have one DBA working on it and another person helping him, and we expect to have a production workload running at scale in under two months.” – Paul Fisher, Chief Architect, Alert Logic
“Prepping and getting a database cluster up and running took three weeks for installing,
confirming network, testing for latency. On Amazon Aurora we’re now able to effectively do it in a day. – Jay Deen, CTO, Amdocs Media
“You could say that our business wouldn’t have existed if we had to provision and maintain databases without RDS.” – Ross Kettle, Chief Technical Officer, Atomic
“Running on Amazon Aurora provides a better end-customer experience. Now, we have the visibility to do the remediation necessary to make sure the experience is seamless, so customers don’t see issues.” – Umesh Toprani, Vice President, Cloud Operations at Barracuda Networks
“Amazon Aurora provides the open source database management layer we’ve been looking for.” – Raj Cheruvu AVP R&D, Helix ITSM at BMC
“With AWS, it feels like I have a team of engineers waiting to help me. I couldn’t get that value by hiring one more person; I would have to hire ten.” – Bret Bills Director of Engineering at Domo, Inc
"We're evaluating migrating our relational datastore from SQL Server to Aurora. The most important thing to us is the flexibility. Whereas with SQL Server, it's very cumbersome. The goal is to introduce a modern relational data store that allows us to scale at will as our customer onboard." – Jared Neilsen, Sr. Director Cloud Ops & Devops, ivanti
“With just the click of a few buttons in Aurora, we had a much higher performing database across all dimensions of networks, CPU, diskettes, and memory. The I/O capability of Aurora was a significant step up from what we could achieve with our SQL Server instances.” – Head of Architecture at Milestone, Steve Rogers
"We selected AWS because it provides the deepest and the most mature software stack on its infrastructure. That helps us because when we know that the foundation is stable, we can focus more on actually solving industry’s problem, not trying to build some underlying database engine or application model." – Michael Heinze, Chief Architect at Shiji Group
"As we entered new dimensions of cloud business, support from AWS helped us to save costs, drive innovation and get the most out of the new products we were developing. AWS was always highly professional and reliable." – Karl Wagner, Senior Vice President of R&D and Cloud Operations ARIS at Software AG
"People think of it as a trivial thing, but managing licensing is not simple. It’s year after year, renegotiating contracts, and pricing. And not having to do that was definitely one of the biggest benefits that we had. With Amazon RDS for MySQL, we didn’t have to worry about additional license management." – Avi Fruchter, Synamedia Fellow Engineer
“This is a huge win, especially because it required no investment in engineering resources. We achieved this with the AWS Savings Plan alone.” – Bruno Moura, Principal Engineer, Unbabel
"Without RDS, we'd need a dedicated team for maintaining our databases. We would need people on call all the time. AWS enables us to sleep better at night." – Tiago Boldt Sousa, Product Lead, Velocidi
Vindicia migrates multi-tenant SaaS subscription management platform to Amazon Aurora for scalability. "Beyond defraying the costs, the move to AWS makes the tedious on-premises jobs we worry about go away. We look forward to using the capabilities of Amazon Aurora to access data more efficiently." – Steven Azar, Senior Manager of Data Programs
