Migrating 600 Databases to AWS, Making Them Better, Faster & Cheaper

In this session CDL an InsurTech from the UK will walk through the entire journey of real-life large-scale database migration from Oracle on premise to PostgreSQL in AWS. We’ll cover the process and share unique details, hits and tips covering zero downtime database migration, change data capture and schema conversion. We’ll show how we made the databases not only cheaper by removing licence costs but also how we sped up our development teams by proving self-service features and made our applications run faster. Finally, we’ll share the extra features we built for PostgreSQL with the AWS Database Freedom team that were missing and how we open sourced these.
