DAT209-L: Leadership session: AWS purpose-built databases

In this session, Shawn Bice, VP of databases, discusses the AWS purpose-built database strategy and explains why your application should drive the requirements for which database(s) to use, not the other way around. Learn about the purpose of each AWS database service and how AWS customers are using purpose-built databases to build some of the most scalable applications on the planet. If you are a technology or engineering leader and you're trying to understand how to modernize your data strategy, this session is for you. We discuss using various approaches for new application development, lifting-and-shifting to managed services, and refactoring monolithic database architectures to use purpose-built databases.
