Introducing configurable maximum throughput for Amazon DynamoDB on-demand

Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, NoSQL database service that enables you to develop modern applications at any scale. DynamoDB on-demand mode offers a truly serverless experience that can serve millions of requests per second without capacity planning, and automatic scale down to zero when no requests are being issued against the table. With on-demand mode’s […]

Tune replication performance with AWS DMS for an Amazon Kinesis Data Streams target endpoint – Part 3

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the high-level architecture of multi-threaded full load and change data capture (CDC) settings to tune related parameters for better performance to replicate data to an Amazon Kinesis Data Streams target using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). In Part 2, we provided some examples of how we […]

Tune replication performance with AWS DMS for an Amazon Kinesis Data Streams target endpoint – Part 2

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the architecture of multi-threaded full load and change data capture (CDC) settings, and considerations and best practices for configuring various parameters when replicating data using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) from a relational database system to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. In this post, we demonstrate the […]

Tune replication performance with AWS DMS for an Amazon Kinesis Data Streams target endpoint – Part 1

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) makes it possible to replicate to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams from relational databases, data warehouses, NoSQL databases, and other types of data stores. You can use Kinesis data streams to collect and process large streams of data records in real time. Replicating data changes to a Kinesis data stream […]

Scale your relational database for SaaS, Part 2: Sharding and routing
