My project finally goes live this weekend. What an insane six months. I'm sure it will not be a smooth transition during cutover and even when we're live in the cloud. Our cutover plan is like 250 rows long and we have 24 hours to do it.

What kind of platform are you using?

Once, i worked with AWS and that has made me to think to work with other Cloud Services.
Yes, AWS Cloud. I like the AWS people a lot. Curious to see if I like the architecture.

Good luck! Hope it all goes well.

I've noticed a trend across enterprise environments in the last year or so - cloud computing is no longer a slam dunk. "Cloud repatriation" is a thing and it's largely driven by cost.

Too many CIOs have drank the Kool-Aid and they love big announcements about being all-in on cloud, digital transformation, etc...but reality hits after a while. Vendor lock-in is also a risk. What's the point in building thousands of functions and PaaS apps that will never be removable...and that's the goal of cloud; lock people into tools that are too easy to use or too hard to get away from.

It does really depend on your workload IMO and in the end a hybrid approach is typically adopted by most organisations.

(I'm not a Developer - just my 2 cents as an Oracle DBA).

Thanks! You're making a lot of sense. We are migrating to the AWS cloud based on necessity (on-prem datacenter is going bankrupt) and we have the opportunity to reduce cost by 30% y/y. Funny thing is, we considered Oracle cloud as well, but found the cost was still too high and wanted to get away from the sale-sy nature of their business. We'll see how it goes. My boss has been through many of these migrations and despite what Amazon says, he's always experienced AZ's/servers going down and failover problems, so I am very concerned about that.

I had issue about connecting my AWS Lambda function (written with JavaScript for async awaits) to my postgres RDS instance. I should have learned basic Node.js.

72 Hours into the migration and we are finally starting to see production issues with performance. Sad thing is, these guys (not AWS) we're working with aren't quick at finding issues. It might be a CPU/memory problem because we ruled out a database issue, so something else must be causing the slowness. Must be an application server issue. The post migration fun has begun.

But otherwise, the migration during the weekend was very successful and we didn't encounter any big issues. AWS said it was one of the most smooth transitions they have ever seen, which was basically in 5 months. Shit ton of more work coming my way.

Kudos to you
Best of luck. happy for you and loads of love from a buddy
If you don’t mind, what skills do you have?
where you got offered a job after finishing Bootcamp? abroad? and do you work remotely?
I’ve been coding for nearly two years now. I’m mostly self taught- I’m in a IT Company, but I learned most of what I know on my own from google or YouTube. I started coding not to get a job (obviously, because I’m too beginner for one), but just to code for fun. I currently get stuck in PHP and JS in intention of becoming a Web Developer.

I highly recommend these courses, Incredibly detailed and thoroughly explained. It's so refreshing to get clear and concise explanation of the coding as this unfolds.
