Open Dental on Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Hybrid approach

Post by kiwihola » Sun Feb 23, 2025 8:03 am

Hi all, first time poster:)

I'm creating an integration between OD, Quickbooks Online and HubSpot. My plan is to use Lambda and DynamoDB on AWS, and back up everything on their S3 services. My question is: should I move OD to AWS as well? Or keep that on my physical server in the clinic, and just do backups on AWS? I'm worried about OD slowing down if I put it on AWS.

Also do you forsee any issues with OD using MySQL and DynamoDB being a NoSQL database?

I need the syncing of information to be almost instantaneous (a 1-3 second delay is absolutely fine). The logic is going to be coded in node.js.

Many thanks in advance for your feedback!
