A brief history of IPC at Netflix Netflix was early to the cloud, particularly for large-scale companies: we began the migration in 2008, and by 2010, Netflix streaming was fully run on AWS. These design principles led us to client-side load-balancing, and the 2012 Christmas Eve outage solidified this decision even further.

As we began growing the AWS business, we realized that external customers might find our Dynamo database just as useful as we found it within Amazon.com. So, we set out to build a fully hosted AWS database service based upon the original Dynamo design. Manageable – The service would need to be easy to manage and operate.

There are services at Netflix that use RDBMS kind of databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL via AWS RDS. Passive instances across regions are also possible, though it is recommended to operate in the same region as the database host in order to keep the change capture latencies low. The destination may be a datastore or an external API.
