GumGum needs to host a large part of its user targeting data for its advertising business in a very high performance and throughput distributed database (supporting multiple data centers) and so far has been relying on hosted Apache Cassandra for this.

In this meet up we will discuss why sustaining the business on hosted Cassandra became difficult and what lead to the decision of choosing AWS DynamoDB over other solutions. What were the steps in moving the business use case to DynamoDB with its associated challenges and the corresponding design decisions. Highlights on the post go live observations, performance and cost benefits the new system has shown. If you are wondering how AWS DynamoDB would suit your business from the performance and cost standpoint and need reference for a migration strategy of your use case, this meet up will provide you with a cool case study for the decision.
