In Part 1 of this series, we demonstrated how to configure interval partitioning in an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition database using PostgreSQL extensions such as pg_partman and pg_cron. The monitoring job was external to the database, thereby allowing a centralized monitoring solution. In this post, we demonstrate how you can monitor and send alerts using […]

Today, customers use document databases for many different types of applications. For example, gaming clients use them for handling users’ attribute information, while a stock application employs a document-oriented database to store chronological quote data. As the number of documents grows over time, you need more compute and storage than what is traditionally offered through […]

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is a fully managed native JSON document database that makes it easy and cost-effective to operate critical document workloads at virtually any scale without managing infrastructure. You can use the same application code written using MongoDB API (versions 3.6, 4.0, and 5.0) compatible drivers, and tools to run, manage, and […]

AWS has introduced a new feature in AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) that simplifies the migration of data from IBM Db2 databases with the Database Partitioning Feature (DPF) databases to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), a highly scalable and durable object storage service. With this new capability, you can now migrate your data from IBM Db2 DPF databases to Amazon S3, paving the way for building robust data lakes in the cloud. This new feature streamlines the migration process, provides data integrity, and minimizes the risk of data loss or corruption, even when dealing with large volumes of data distributed across multiple partitions and databases of varying sizes. In this post, we delve into the intricacies of this new AWS DMS feature and demonstrate how to implement it. We explore best practices for orchestrating data flows and optimizing the migration process, achieving a smooth transition from on-premises IBM Db2 DPF databases to a cloud-based data lake on Amazon S3.

In this post, we show you how to set up bi-directional replication between an on-premises MySQL instance and an Aurora MySQL instance. We cover how to configure and set up bi-directional replication and address important operational concepts such as monitoring, troubleshooting, and high availability. In certain use cases, native bi-directional binary log replication can either provide a simpler fallback plan for your migration or provide a way to migrate applications or schemas individually, rather than all at the same time.

In this post, we demonstrate how to migrate SQL logins, database roles, users, and object-level permissions from Azure SQL Database to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server using T-SQL. Within SQL Server, a SQL login acts as a security principal, allowing a user or application to connect to a SQL Server instance. […]
