Deep Dive into Amazon's NoSQL Journey and AWS Operations
Amazon.com runs some of the world's largest distributed systems at scale. Much of the internet relies on these services to be highly available, performant, and to scale virtually limitlessly. This session will be a deep dive into the history of NoSQL at Amazon.com, from the world of relational databases, to the Dynamo days, to the world of managed services like DynamoDB. We will cover externally facing Amazon Web Services, as well as internal services that power much of Amazon.com and AWS behind the scenes. We will share lessons we learned along the way and how the distributed systems at Amazon.com evolved over the last decade to take on their current form. We cover deployment practices, testing and modeling methodologies, as well as how we continuously improve the operations of our services every day. You'll hear about realtime streaming systems like Amazon Kinesis, managed NoSQL Databases like DynamoDB, and some tips and tricks on how to operate and manage relational databases too! This talk will also cover key practices that we adhere to for operations, fault tolerance, and high availability, with lessons you can directly apply to your own services! We will cover testing, deployment practices, as well as approaches for modeling distributed systems for correctness. Come join us for an interactive session and get ready for a fun ride into the depths of AWS.
