In a recent migration project, INFOLOB recommended and helped an insurance industry customer relocate from AWS RDS MySQL database to OCI MySQL Database Service. The primary objective was to help them aptly support their mission-critical financial transaction processing application.
Switching to Oracle MDS industry-leading database platform meant enhanced performance and scalability – upgrading the customer to handle a massive volume of transactions while scaling their application more effortlessly per growing demands.
Related readings from INFOLOB:
The request came in as a response to customer’s financial application experiencing a rapid surge in user activity due to a major market event and subsequent increase in customer activity.
The challenge, therefore, was not only to discharge their heavily strained AWS RDS MySQL database causing slow response, errors, and system downtimes; but also, to do it expeditiously. And, apparently, the customer was already aware that OCI MySQL Database Service can alone sustain the volume, velocity, and criticality of the use case. So INFOLOB got to work.
Highlights/Results:
- Significant performance gains delivered with OCI MySQL Database Service
- Additional compute and storage capacity made pluggable on-the-fly without any downtime or disruption to the application
- Built-in high-availability features such as automatic backups, point-in-time recovery, and automatic failover ensured application availability and resilience
- More traffic can be handled, scaling is easier, and the risk of downtime or data loss is minimized
- Improved business continuity, customer satisfaction, and revenue generation now unfolding per the dictates of business needs
- Transaction response times reduced by 30%, leading to faster and more efficient processing of customer data
- Application availability improved by 20%, reducing the risk of downtime and financial losses
- Improved service led to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty
- Cost savings achieved through reduced hardware and infrastructure maintenance
Overall, the migration was a success, positioning the customer for future growth and success.
