PostgreSQL as an alternative to OpenInsight

Reinvent how your business delivers value with purpose-built databases for modern applications In the age of exabytes, when sourcing the right data is critical to business innovation, a modern data architecture that manages growing data volumes at minimal downtime and optimal expense can be a game changer. Getting the most out of cloud technology involves far more than simply adopting cloud-based infrastructure. Older databases shifted into the cloud may not serve the needs of modern applications. As your users have more complex use cases, with a growing amount of data and data sources, real-time feature requests, and rapid scaling requirements, your database technology needs to change too. Database modernisation should be an evolution, not a revolution. A well-thought-out migration plan is an excellent start. In this series, we will look at how software and technology businesses are modernising their commercial relational databases like Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server through easy upgrades with Amazon Relational Database Service. Learn how SaaS and Digital Native Businesses are innovating faster and scaling their business by going serverless and open source with Amazon Aurora. We understand that one-size-fits-all approach of using a database for everything no longer works. We will learn about the broad and deep portfolio of purpose-built databases that AWS offers to support diverse data models so that customers can build data driven, highly scalable, distributed applications. You'll also hear from SaaS customers, Pexa, Leap Dev, Attend Anywhere and Digital Native Business, Beem It, on how they are embracing the trends of database modernisation. Migrating databases to AWS reduced their operational costs and freed up the team to add more value during their day. Rather than spending their time patching, securing, and scaling databases, the team can focus on innovating. One of the first wins you'll have as you start to migrate your legacy OpenInsight database to PostgreSQL is that you will have the world of tools available to you as well as to your customers for reporting. The speed improvements, especially once you tune the indices in PostgreSQL will

If you desire to warehouse your application to an SQL environment, PostgreSQL is the platform to migrate to. It is an open sourced SQL database as well as supporting the multi-valued world of OpenInsight.

Modernise SaaS Applications with Purpose Built Databases (Level 200-300) The days of the one-size-fits-all monolithic database are behind us and highly distributed applications are using many purpose-built databases. In this session, learn how AWS purpose-built databases meet the scale, performance, and manageability requirements of modern applications so that you could choose the “right tool for the right job." You will also learn about modern day application requirements of performance, scalability, availability, agility and costs and how that translates to the architecture of the underlying data stores.

Why refactor to an open source database [Amazon Aurora] + Tools (Level 200-300) For software and technology businesses, the ability to run thousands of database instances with multiple read replicas extremely cost effectively improves their long-term efficiency and decouples success from commercial license costs. In this session you will find out how Open source databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL have matured to be enterprise capable and how Amazon Aurora has enhanced the community engine to provide scalability, performance and availability of commercial database at 1/10th of cost. This session will also cover the tools and techniques to migrate your existing SQL Server or Oracle databases to AWS Aurora using AWS Database Migration Service.
