For financial organizations like JP Morgan Chase (JPMC), which manages thousands of high-TPS applications, even a few minutes of outage can impact millions of customers and lead to regulatory fines. To meet regulatory requirements, JPMC must perform disaster recovery and resiliency activities every 180 days, necessitating a seamless, automated solution to minimize customer outages. With Aurora Global DB, manual failover can take up to 3 minutes, causing downtime that impacts customers, reputation, finances, and compliance. During a Region outage with manual failover, teams follow a time-consuming and error-prone manual process involving monitoring, stakeholder notification, impact assessment, triage, read replica promotion, configuration updates, DNS adjustments, service restarts, functionality testing, data integrity checks, and stakeholder communication. Financial organizations are obligated to report outages to regulatory bodies like FFIEC and FCA. In this session, learn how JPMC automated their Aurora Global DB failover procedures to minimize downtime, eliminate complex manual intervention, and ensure critical system availability for customers.
