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 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.

Oracle Multitenant Architecture uses a container-based architecture specifically designed for the cloud. It enables the Oracle database to function as multitenant container database (CDB) where application databases are created as pluggable databases (PDB) inside the container database (CDB). A PDB is a collection of schemas, schema objects and non-schema objects, and self-contained for an application […]

In this post, we discuss how to migrate a self-managed document database or Amazon DocumentDB database to Amazon DocumentDB using AWS DMS homogeneous migration.

In this post we walk through the steps to setup CQL Replicator and migrate a table from self-managed Cassandra cluster to Amazon Keyspaces. We demonstrate how to set up, run, and shut down the CQLReplicator job using command line tooling and observe changes flowing through the pipeline in Amazon CloudWatch.

In this post, we discuss how Phreesia used AWS DMS to replicate their on-premises database to AWS in an effective and cost-optimized manner. Because of the database’s large size and complex data structure, properly tuning the AWS DMS configuration was critical to minimize the migration duration and cost. We outline the fine-tuning techniques that were applied to optimize the AWS DMS task settings, instance size, IOPS provisioning, and table mappings. Applying these performance optimizations allowed Phreesia to develop a migration strategy to move this 30 TB database to Amazon S3 in just 2 days without disruption to production workloads.

In this post, we discuss more PostgreSQL key concepts, including simple query protocol, explain plans, how to read explain plans, and tools to visualize these plans in Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition.

Immutable tables are a feature of Oracle Enterprise Edition, or Oracle Standard Edition database 19c and higher. In this post, we guide you through the features of immutable tables when creating, storing, and managing data on Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle.

As industrial and manufacturing companies embark on their digital transformation journey, they are looking to capture and process large volumes of near real-time data for optimizing production, reducing downtime, and improving overall efficiency. As part of this, they’re looking to store data locally at the plant floor or on-premises data center for real-time low-latency reporting […]
