Amazon's Oracle data warehouse was one of the largest (if not THE largest) in the world. RIP. We have moved on to newer, faster, more reliable, more agile, more versatile technology at more lower cost and higher scale.
#AWS
Redshift FTW!
In latest episode of "uh huh, keep talkin' Larry," Amazon’s Consumer business turned off its Oracle data warehouse Nov 1 and moved to Redshift. By end of 2018, they'll have 88% of their Oracle DBs (and 97% of critical system DBs) moved to Aurora and DynamoDB.

Nothing like a big tech conference to remind you what men in tech think about the rest of us.
Them: “You’re in client services?”
Me: “Not exactly.”
Other them: “You don’t seem that technical.”
Me: “I wrote the whole damn session.”

Dare, I appreciate your sentiment, but I knew exactly what contract I signed 17 years ago, which included a 6-12 month vacation if I wanted to join another major tech company. I was fine with it then, and still am now. No IQ test needed.
Amazon has now invoked non-competes on senior leaders going to both Google & Microsoft. At this point if you’re a senior person who accepts a job at Amazon, you’re failing an IQ test.
