As more startups use Amazon Web Services, the following scenario becomes increasingly frequent - the startup is acquired but required by the parent company to move away from AWS and into their own data centers. Given the all encompassing nature of AWS, this is not a trivial task and necessitates careful planning at both the application and systems level. In this presentation, Soam recounts his experience at Delve, a video publishing SaaS platform, with their post acquisition migration to Limelight Networks, a global CDN, during a period of tremendous growth in traffic. In particular, he shares some of the tips/techniques employed during this process to reduce AWS dependence and evolve to a hybrid private/AWS global architecture that has allowed it to compete effectively with digital video leaders like Brightcove and Ooyala.
