In this post, we demonstrate how you can migrate your instances within an Aurora cluster from a public subnet to a private subnet while keeping downtime to an absolute minimum.

Presence is a leading provider of live therapy and evaluation services for PreK-12 schools throughout the United States. Amazon RDS for MySQL has been a core part of Presence’s data architecture for many years. Presence used RDS read replicas, with replication filtering, to migrate applications from their centralized RDS for MySQL DB instance to dedicated DB instances. This approach allowed them to migrate each service, on its own schedule, with little downtime. In this post, we provide a practical example for migrating using the same method.

GoldenGate supports Classic and Microservices Architectures. In Part 1 of this series, we covered high availability for GoldenGate classic architecture in AWS. In this post, we discuss a reference architecture for GoldenGate Microservices Architecture (MA) in AWS. The GoldenGate Hub is a widely used deployment model that simplifies operations and lessens the use of system resources on both the source and target systems. This is in contrast to the conventional method where GoldenGate components run directly on the source and target systems.

In this post, we use the Anthropic Claude3 Sonnet large language model (LLM) on Amazon Bedrock to provide a detailed breakdown of the complex PL/SQL and T-SQL code, making it more understandable and comprehensible for developers who are new to a code base or working with unfamiliar code, because it helps them understand the logic and flow of the code more effectively.

This post is a follow-up to Use Amazon RDS Proxy to provide access to RDS databases across AWS accounts, addressing cross-account connectivity when using RDS Proxy. We discuss how you can achieve cross-account connectivity while taking advantage of the simplicity and benefits of IAM authentication.

Amazon Q Developer, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) assistant, can help accelerate the development of applications on AWS. In this post, we create a DynamoDB table using IaC then perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations on the table using Python and Boto3 (with additional observations for JavaScript and Java at the end of the post). We demonstrate how Amazon Q can improve your speed of development for these tasks.

Customers often ask for guidance on how to obtain the count of items in a table or within specific partitions (item collections). In this post, we explore several methods to achieve this, each tailored to different use cases, with a focus on balancing accuracy, performance, and cost.

In this post, we provide an overview of Delivery Hero’s goals and how we used Amazon DynamoDB to build a scalable and cost-efficient solution, leveraging gamification to improve restaurant operations.

In this post, we show you how to migrate an Oracle database to an Amazon RDS for Oracle DB instance. The solution uses Oracle Data Pump for initial data load and Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture installed on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance as the Oracle GoldenGate hub for change data capture.

In this post, we explain how to use RDS Db2 Snapshot and AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to create cross Region replicas for your RDS for Db2 DB instance. If you want to use this replica for read scaling, there needs to be logic built at the application layer to direct only read traffic to the replica.
