Purpose-built databases for modern applications and ML workloads

Developers are refactoring monolithic applications into collections of distributed, loosely coupled microservices. Each microservice does one core function well and can be improved upon without impacting others. Modern applications built with this approach have profound implications for the database layer. Instead of using a single, general purpose database, each microservice can use its own database that is well suited for its function. In this session, learn about the AWS offering of more than 15 purpose-built database engines, and how to pick the right database for your job. Learn about the role of purpose-built databases in modern applications as well as reference architectures for different microservice use cases.
