Building Multi-Region Distributed Databases: A Hands-On Workshop

What if your application could survive an entire region failure with minimal customer impact? In this hands-on workshop, you'll build a real-world retail rewards points application with true active-active resiliency across multiple regions using Amazon Aurora DSQL, a serverless distributed SQL database. You'll get practical experience implementing the patterns that keep mission-critical applications running when disaster strikes.

Design and deploy an active-active multi-region application — Build a real-world retail rewards points app architected to survive full region failures with minimal customer impact.

Implement resilience patterns with a serverless distributed SQL database — Gain hands-on experience using Amazon Aurora DSQL to handle distributed transactions, including the trade-offs and application changes required.

Apply disaster recovery strategies for mission-critical workloads — Practise the patterns and techniques that keep applications running when infrastructure fails, with working code you can take back and adapt.

This lab requires a basic understanding of navigating the AWS Management Console, working in a Linux terminal, and interacting with a relational database through a terminal client.
