To simplify time-consuming administrative tasks, AWS Management Console completes replication, scaling and other difficult procedures associated with databases with a basic API call, enabling maximum performance across the board. Fueling Business Growth with Data Processing Prowess Expedia had engaged the AWS team in 2010 with a similar goal: improve processing speed and accuracy to keep site abandonment…
