How to build a microservice with Python + FastAPI that will help to switch from RDS to DynamoDB and save costs.
The presentation was given on 2024.12.15 at PyWeb December at Bluevine.
The microservice processed all requests between different clients and DDB. In addition to this, during the transfer period, both RDS and DDB were supported before the full switch to DDB. I can talk about the general approaches I used to build this microservice, how I worked with the legacy code, monitoring, and what was the outcome. Also, I will give a summary of all the pros and cons I faced and things that you could do better from the beginning.
I'm a full-stack developer currently working at Check Point in Tel Aviv. My stack is Angular + Python (Flask, FastApi). I'm also interested in web accessibility.
