AWS customer experiences
7X cheaper than Oracle 180X faster
than Oracle. Oracle 11g based DW
to Redshift.
AstraZeneca reduced processing
time from 26 hours to 40 minutes by
migration from Oracle stack to Aurora
MySQL stack
Blackboard migrated their Learning
Management System to RDS PostgreSQL
to better compete against emerging
competition. With licensing reduction
failover became affordable for their clients
and is used in all deployments.
Verizon is targeting a mass migration
off of Oracle to PostgreSQL. One
project projects potential savings of
$1.75M
Trimble Leveraged SCT to determine
target engine. Reduced infrastructure
costs to less than one-fourth of their
privately hosted infrastructure
By migrating from Microsoft SQL Server to
Amazon Aurora, Ryanair can now run one
of the largest email marketing campaigns in
Europe with higher performance at a
fraction of the cost, sending out 22 million
emails daily to customers about travel
bookings or sales events.

• The WQF includes self-service tools, a questionnaire, and design review guidance that Solutions Architects,
Partners and Consultants can use to classifying workloads to determine the ease of migration, staff-hour
consumption and to which appropriate AWS Service to migrate
• There are two main types of database workloads:
• Online Transaction Processing (OLTP): many small/fast transactions and queries via indexes that
return few rows
• Data Warehouse (DW): interactive and long-running queries that scan millions of rows and batched
updates
• WQF classifies OLTP and DW workloads into five categories:
Category 1 ODBC/JBDC workloads
Category 2 Light, proprietary feature workloads
Category 3 Heavy, proprietary feature workloads
Category 4 Engine-specific workloads
Category 5 Non-portable, high-risk or lift-and-shift
