 Why move to managed
open source and OS-compatible
databases?

© 2020, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates.

 Self managing open source databases is time
consuming, complex, and expensive
Hardware & software installation, configuration, patching, backups

Performance, efficiency and high availability issues

Capacity planning and scaling clusters for compute and storage

Security, governance and compliance

Version updates and lack of support services

Hulu is a leading premium streaming service that offers
instant access to live and on demand content

Challenge:
Launched Live TV from scratch. Needed to have
personalized user content and no-skipping ad delivery at
scale and real-time

Solution:
Hulu built Live TV service and Cloud DVR platform using:
• Amazon Aurora
• Amazon ElastiCache
• Amazon CloudFront
• Amazon S3

Result:
AWS open source-compatible database services enabled
the necessary scale for live video ingest, storage, and
delivery of content streams

Migrate on-premises or self-managed relational databases to open source and open
source-compatible managed database services
Migrate without the need to re-architect existing applications
Reduce DB administrative burden
Get better performance, availability, scalability, and security

 Amazon Aurora
MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud
Performance and availability of commercial-grade databases at 1/10th the cost

Performance Availability
Highly secure Fully managed
and scalability and durability

5x throughput of standard Fault-tolerant, self-healing Network isolation, Managed by RDS:

MySQL and 3x of standard storage; six copies of data encryption at No server provisioning, software
PostgreSQL; scale-out up to across three Availability Zones; rest/transit, compliance patching, setup, configuration, or
15 read replicas continuous backup to Amazon S3 and assurance programs backups

A leading provider of financial management software for
consumers, small businesses, and accounting
professionals

Challenge:
Their data center lease was up. They needed a solution
before the tax season to cut cost and scale more

Solution:
Used AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) to move
on-premises MySQL to Amazon Aurora

Result:
With a managed solution like Aurora, the benefits go
beyond just cost savings: 80% less time spent on
maintenance, more encryption of data at rest, and
automatic growth of storage up to 64TB

Challenge:

Solution:
They moved from self managed Redis to fully managed
Amazon ElastiCache for Redis as a caching layer on RDS
for MySQL

Result:
ElastiCache provides sub-millisecond latency even in
times of peak traffic of hundreds of thousands of cab
requests per minute
