AWS Morning Brief for the week of November 10th, with Corey Quinn.

Cybercriminals know the key to a successful ransomware attack isn’t just encrypting your primary systems, it’s taking out your backups too. Because if an organization can recover, they won’t pay the ransom. 💸

When ransomware hits, your backups might be the first thing attackers go after. 😬 Rubrik’s Chief Product Officer Anneka Gupta joins Corey Quinn to talk about AI, cyber recovery, and what real resilience looks like when everything goes wrong. Listen now:

Single-threaded in-memory DBs are a bottleneck. TODAY at 1p EST/10a PST, I'm talking with Dragonfly's CEO about how multi-threading fixes this. Sharp takes guaranteed. Last chance to join live: www.dragonflydb.io/events/in-me... #InMemoryDatabase #DragonflyDB

CFOs don't care about your benchmarks; they care about the bill. Dragonfly CEO Oded Poncz says they deliver better performance and cut costs (30-80%). Possible? Hear Oded give real examples in our webinar: www.dragonflydb.io/events/in-me... #InMemoryDatabase #Dragonfly #CostSaving #FinOps

Nobody swaps core DBs lightly. But slow sites get people fired. When Redis hits scaling limits, pain forces change. Dragonfly CEO Oded Poncz tells me their goal is a low-risk upgrade, not a migration gamble. Hear how in our webinar: www.dragonflydb.io/events/in-me... #InMemoryDatabase #Dragonfly

Sep 19, 2025 “Redundancy isn’t recovery.” 👀 Rubrik CPO Anneka Gupta joins Corey Quinn on Screaming in the Cloud to talk ransomware, AI, and why your backups might be your weakest link. 🎧 Listen now → www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre... #Cloud #Security #Ransomware #AI

"Drop-in replacement" often means pain. Dragonfly CEO Oded Poncz claims their Redis/Valkey API compatibility makes migration a simple upgrade (minutes!). Hear me grill him on this in our webinar: www.dragonflydb.io/events/in-me... #InMemoryDatabase #Redis #Migration

Why do managed DBs fail? Often, bad unit economics. DragonflyDB's plan? CEO Oded Poncz: Radical efficiency cuts hardware costs & avoids cloud network taxes. Hear how in our webinar: www.dragonflydb.io/events/in-me... #InMemoryDatabase #DragonflyDB #CloudCosts

Redis license drama is noise. Fact: Dragonfly CEO Oded Poncz says Redis benchmarked Dragonfly just one month after launch. Performance talks. Hear us unpack the shifting in-memory landscape in our webinar! www.dragonflydb.io/events/in-me... #InMemoryDatabase #Redis #DragonflyDB

@bscanlan.bsky.social from Intercom just dropped some serious database wisdom on Screaming in the Cloud. After 11 years of scaling their Ruby on Rails monolith, they ditched AWS Aurora for PlanetScale - and the results speak for themselves.

When database scaling hits reality: Intercom’s migration from Aurora to PlanetScale. @bscanlan.bsky.social shares lessons from managing 13 Aurora clusters and slow AWS upgrades, and why PlanetScale’s managed Vitess made all the difference. 🎧 www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

When AWS says “we gotta patch” at some random, inconvenient time… that wears you down.' Sometimes the managed service isn’t managing the right things. Get all the details in our new episode!

The pipeline problem is real. @bscanlan.bsky.social warns we’re losing the paths that once created great systems engineers. If the cloud hides all the complexity, where will the next generation come from? 🎧 www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

"When ChatGPT came out in October 2022, we reoriented the entire company." - @bscanlan.bsky.social, Intercom. Now they're seeing customers ask MORE questions because they're getting fast, useful answers. 🎧 www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

Plot twist: Intercom's on-call system uses VOLUNTEERS, not conscripts. @bscanlan.bsky.social explains how they compensate engineers for after-hours work instead of mandating it by team assignment. Result? People actually want to join the rotation. 🎧 to the podcast:

13 Aurora clusters to a sleek move onto PlanetScale. Intercom’s database journey wasn’t just a migration, it was a rethink. On the latest Screaming in the Cloud, @bscanlan.bsky.social (Senior Principal Engineer @ Intercom) joins Corey Quinn to talk about..
