Databases 101: A Technical Intro for Startups [Coinbase]

When building a new service it can be difficult to understand the tradeoffs associated with the various persistent stores available in AWS. From Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon Aurora, there are a number of options - but which is right for your startup's build?

Luke Demi, Software Engineer at Coinbase will talk through the framework they've built at Coinbase to help developers choose the correct database for the job. He'll explore the differences and tradeoffs between relational vs document stores, an overview of scaling DynamoDB vs Aurora, fundamentals around index selection, and how startups can choose a good partition key.

Networking and drinks to follow.
