Learn how Presence migrated off a monolithic Amazon RDS for MySQL instance, with near-zero downtime, using replication filters
Presence is a leading provider of live therapy and evaluation services for PreK-12 schools throughout the United States. Amazon RDS for MySQL has been a core part of Presence’s data architecture for many years. Presence used RDS read replicas, with replication filtering, to migrate applications from their centralized RDS for MySQL DB instance to dedicated DB instances. This approach allowed them to migrate each service, on its own schedule, with little downtime. In this post, we provide a practical example for migrating using the same method.
Analyzing PL/SQL and T-SQL code using Amazon Bedrock
