From RDS to DynamoDB: Unleashing Scalability With AWS & LaunchDarkly

Database migrations are scary. Particularly when working with big banks that expect extreme reliability and consumers who can't afford a late or missed payment. Beyond the sensitivity of databases in general, consumption like ours often leads to huge costs, which is why we looked to migrate away from Amazon RDS and into a fully managed, serverless, and highly-performant solution like Amazon DynamoDB. BillGO leveraged LaunchDarkly to enable seamless migration of production systems to the new platform while avoiding any production downtime, impacts on users, or loss of developer efficiency. Not to mention significant savings! In this session, we'll talk through the approaches, lessons learned, and tips for how you too can unleash scalability and migrate services faster with LaunchDarkly.
