• “Push-button deploy MongoDB with Ansible” Fiserv, a leading global provider of payments and financial services technology, describes how it tackled the challenge of deploying a large number of MongoDB servers – creating a push-button approach to deploy sharded MongoDB clusters and replica sets using Ansible. This helps the company serve millions of people and businesses in a world that never powers down.
• “MySQL & PostgreSQL Migration to AWS at Groupon” The company explains how it migrated its databases to the cloud without disruption and the preparation plans for the onboarding and cutover process, with special consideration for the differences between running in the data center compared with on AWS.
• “Multi-colo Async Replication at LinkedIn” Maintaining and keeping its member data synchronized at multiple data centers requires reliable asynchronous replication globally. LinkedIn will discuss its needs for open source to handle its requirements.
