Migrate from DB on Amazon EC2 to Amazon RDS for MySQL with HA using AWS DMS for E-Commerce Platform
We helped our top E-commerce platform customer to Migrate from DB on Amazon EC2 to Amazon RDS for MySQL with HA using AWS DMS
About the client
Nalli’s website is currently running on Magento with customization. The application is hosted and managed by WebScale (a third-party hosting vendor) in PaaS. The development and customization of the application are handled by the customer and a third-party development team. At present, they cannot perform much customization due to the lack of visibility provided by Webscale. The problem was that they couldn’t scale consistently and justify the cost and DB performance. During peak periods, such as holidays and promotional events, the previous architecture was incapable of justifying the investment and ensuring stability. Given the regular stability difficulties, the performance-to-spending ratio has declined.
Also, managing MySQL databases on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances is time-consuming and expensive. Moving these databases to an Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MySQL DB instances will make your work easier while also saving you money on IT. Multi-AZ, scalability and automated backups are all available with Amazon RDS for MySQL
