AWS Public Sector Summit 2018 - Washington, D.C. Appriss creates actionable information and insights gained from their data and analytics solutions, their customers are able to more effectively save lives, mitigate fraud, and reduce risk. They call it “knowledge for good”. One of the many challenges facing Appriss was how to migrate a multi-terabyte Oracle database from one of their own data centers into AWS with minimal disruption to their applications and customers while reducing cost and not sacrificing security, availability, and reliability. This session provides an overview and demo of Aurora PostgreSQL and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) as Appriss discusses their primary drivers for choosing the combination, preparation, challenges faced throughout the process, results, and future plans.
