Accelerate SQL Server to Amazon Aurora migrations with a customizable solution

Migrating from SQL Server to Amazon Aurora can significantly reduce database licensing costs and modernize your data infrastructure. To accelerate your migration journey, we have developed a migration solution that offers ease and flexibility. You can use this migration accelerator to achieve fast data migration and minimum downtime while customizing it to meet your specific business requirements. In this post, we showcase the core features of the migration accelerator, demonstrated through a complex use case of consolidating 32 SQL Server databases into a single Amazon Aurora instance with near-zero downtime, while addressing technical debt through refactoring.
