Innovation@Nationale-Nederlanden: Migration from On-Prem DB to RDS Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless v2

Discover the technical journey behind Nationale-Nederlanden’s large-scale migration from legacy Oracle and SQL Server environments to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless v2. In this session, Matheus Lozano, DevOps Cloud Engineer, shares practical insights from one of Europe’s largest financial institutions, focusing on architectural decisions, migration tooling, and operational strategies that enabled a seamless transition.

Learn how the team leveraged AWS-native features—such as Babelfish for SQL Server compatibility, automated scaling, and native disaster recovery—to overcome challenges like high latency, compliance complexity, and cost visibility. Dive into performance benchmarking, cost optimization, and the automation of backup, monitoring, and updates. Matheus will present real-world metrics, architecture diagrams, and lessons learned, providing actionable guidance for engineers and architects planning similar migrations.

Whether you’re modernizing legacy systems or scaling cloud-native workloads, this talk will equip you with the technical know-how to drive innovation and operational excellence using Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless v2.
