We are excited to announce Amazon Timestream for LiveAnalytics as a newly supported target endpoint for AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). This addition allows you to move time-series data from an AWS DMS supported source database to Timestream. In this post, we show you how to use Timestream as a target for an example PostgreSQL source endpoint in AWS DMS.

This is a three-part series in which we discuss the end-to-end process of building a data lake from a legacy SQL Server database. In this post, we show you how to build data pipelines to replicate data from Microsoft SQL Server to a data lake in Amazon S3 using AWS DMS. You can extend the solution presented in this post to other database engines like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Oracle.

In this post, we highlight common challenges encountered during homogeneous database migrations and how using AWS DMS homogeneous migration can help address them.

This post is co-authored with Kate Fike, Software Engineer at BCM One. BCM One is a leading global provider of NextGen Communications and Managed Services to IT leaders and channel resellers. They have multiple NextGen Communications brands, including Flowroute. Flowroute offers SIP trunking and a business messaging platform for mission-critical voice applications. In this post, […]

In this post, we delve into the intricacies of configuring AWS DMS replication instances to use an S3 bucket in a different account. We also explore the process of establishing a connection between AWS DMS Serverless and S3 buckets across distinct accounts.

In this post, we explain how to use RDS Db2 Snapshot and AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to create cross Region replicas for your RDS for Db2 DB instance. If you want to use this replica for read scaling, there needs to be logic built at the application layer to direct only read traffic to the replica.

Oracle Multitenant Architecture uses a container-based architecture specifically designed for the cloud. It enables the Oracle database to function as multitenant container database (CDB) where application databases are created as pluggable databases (PDB) inside the container database (CDB). A PDB is a collection of schemas, schema objects and non-schema objects, and self-contained for an application […]

In this post, we discuss how to migrate a self-managed document database or Amazon DocumentDB database to Amazon DocumentDB using AWS DMS homogeneous migration.

In this post, we discuss how Phreesia used AWS DMS to replicate their on-premises database to AWS in an effective and cost-optimized manner. Because of the database’s large size and complex data structure, properly tuning the AWS DMS configuration was critical to minimize the migration duration and cost. We outline the fine-tuning techniques that were applied to optimize the AWS DMS task settings, instance size, IOPS provisioning, and table mappings. Applying these performance optimizations allowed Phreesia to develop a migration strategy to move this 30 TB database to Amazon S3 in just 2 days without disruption to production workloads.

Homogeneous data migrations in AWS DMS simplify the migration of on-premises databases to their Amazon RDS equivalents. In this post, we guide you through the steps of performing a homogeneous migration from an on-premises MySQL database to Amazon Aurora MySQL using AWS DMS homogeneous data migrations over a private network using network load balancer.
