Free Masterclass with Alex DeBrie, Miles Ward & Felipe Mendes

Designed for organizations facing DynamoDB scaling challenges, this masterclass shares pragmatic strategies for optimizing DynamoDB costs as you grow. It also presents alternatives to consider when you’ve hit your limit with AWS (e.g., due to costs, multicloud initiatives, cloud migrations...)

With your expert instructors – Alex DeBrie (The DynamoDB Book author), Miles Ward (CTO at SADA), and Felipe Cardeneti Mendes (Technical Director at ScyllaDB) – you will learn how to:

  • Spot commonly overlooked impacts on DynamoDB costs and navigate the available technical optimizations
  • Evaluate the available database options if your AWS bills continue to skyrocket – or if you’re compelled to leave AWS for another reason
  • Identify which DynamoDB alternatives (e.g., Bigtable, ScyllaDB) fit different technical requirements (workload mix, item size, etc.)
  • Plan a sustainable path forward with DynamoDB or common alternatives
