Summary
Arik Porat is a senior solutions architect at AWS with a deep 16+-year background as an Oracle DBA and hands-on experience across OLTP, data warehousing, VLDBs, HA/DR, and performance tuning. He has transitioned from managing critical on-premise healthcare and defense systems to architecting cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes migrations, and automated Terraform/Terragrunt multi-account setups. At Perion he led large-scale AWS account management, CI/CD for Kubernetes and serverless, and data pipelines on EMR and Airflow, demonstrating strong cross-functional delivery between DevOps and DataOps. Comfortable across Linux/Unix/Windows and multiple databases (Oracle, MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch), he blends deep RDBMS expertise with modern cloud-native patterns. Known for building self-service tools and automation for R&D, he brings a pragmatic focus on operability and disaster recovery. Based in Israel with formal computer science training, he pairs veteran DBA instincts with current cloud architecture practice—often surfacing low-level performance fixes that yield outsized operational gains.
