Abstract:

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 speed up our development teams and making our application run faster. 

 

Finally, we’ll share the extra features we built for PostgreSQL that were missing and how we open sourced these.
