Choosing Your First Project1
Choosing Your First Project
DEV & TEST
Spin environments up and down on demand
Decouple development & test environments from operational constraints
Explore elasticity in a sandboxed environment

PAIN POINTS
Provide solutions to challenges causing
undue cost or management burden
Avoid capital investment in data centres, minimise
impact of hardware or software refreshes, solve
scaling challenges
Plan, evolve & achieve your goals
PROOF OF CONCEPT
Understand services Test performance Architect for scale
Develop team capabilities
PRODUCTION
Implement monitoring Change management Security management
System backup & recovery Scalability
OPTIMISATION
Automate corrective actions Deploy & tune Auto-scaling Zero downtime deployments

Managing All of the “Undifferentiated Heavy Lifting”
Services, Not Software
Relational Database Service Easy to set up, operate, and scale Handles time-consuming database management tasks, such as backups, patch management, and replication Supports MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL & Amazon Aurora
NoSQL Database Service Fast, predictable performance
Supports document & key-value data models Fully distributed, fault tolerant architecture

Simple Queue Service Fast, reliable, scalable, fully managed message queuing service Transmit any volume of data, at any level of throughput
Amazon SQS
Amazon EMR
Elastic MapReduce Uses Hadoop, an open source framework, to distribute your data and processing across EC2 instances Integrates with other AWS services, such S3 & DynamoDB Supports the broad Hadoop tools ecosystem

we need a magic scaling system that copes with peaks of 50x normal now and 350x in future
A (little) bit about our tech strategy:
1. its web based,
2. its platform independent 3. it links to our other systems
…and 2008 was a turning point…
…pets vs cattle:
build the experience
buy the logic
outsource services…
…with high growth comes high expectations:
100% uptime 100% flexibility 100% scalability…
…evaluating AWS - Bustin’ the Myths
1. there are serious emerging competitors 2. no need to pre-scale 3. only web apps work on cloud 4. you can scale you existing software stack 5. you can build and forget the infrastructure 6. really big businesses don’t use AWS
why not run your business on a proof of concept?
wanted a short migration 12 weeks
compelling events drove this to 6 weeks removed existing CDN added in multiple availability zones and DR migrated my-sql to AWS aurora DB re-engineered caching architecture
the result…
…had a hard landing
…there are no big pureplay retailers…
so we are on a much bigger journey
…ok! there’s one
