AWS Database Migration and Modernization Consulting

Legacy database infrastructure is often the single largest obstacle to enterprise growth. Oracle and SQL Server licensing costs climb every renewal cycle, on-premises performance degrades under modern workloads, and migration risk keeps decision-makers from acting for years. AWS Database Migration and Modernization Consulting from eSparkBiz gives enterprises a structured, low-risk path from Oracle, SQL Server, or MySQL environments to a modern, cloud-native database architecture on AWS.

• Database TCO Assessment quantifying current licensing, hardware, and operational costs against projected AWS spend, giving finance and infrastructure teams a defensible business case before any workload moves
• Database Migration Assessment covering schema complexity, stored procedures, data volume, dependency mapping, and compatibility gaps across Oracle-to-PostgreSQL, SQL Server-to-Aurora, and MySQL modernization paths, so risk surfaces before it reaches production
• Legacy Database Modernization gap analysis identifying which workloads are direct-migration candidates for Amazon RDS or Aurora PostgreSQL and which require re-architecture, re-platforming, or engine replacement
• Database License Optimization review examining Oracle Database Migration and SQL Server migration paths, commercial license elimination, and AWS-native engine alternatives that reduce total cost without compromising capability

• AWS Database Migration Planning producing a sequenced migration roadmap with phased cutover windows, rollback procedures, and dependency-aware scheduling aligned to business continuity needs
• Database Modernization Strategy covering target architecture selection across Amazon RDS, Aurora PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and Redshift, based on workload type, access patterns, and compliance needs
• Schema Conversion and Replatforming using the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) to automate schema translation for heterogeneous migrations, including data type mapping, stored procedure conversion, application connection string changes, and pre-migration validation test plans
• Amazon RDS and Aurora Migration design covering Multi-AZ configurations, read replica architecture, backup retention policies, and automated failover aligned to RTO and RPO targets

• AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) configuration for homogeneous and heterogeneous migrations, using continuous data replication, full-load migration, and ongoing change data capture with monitoring enabled from the first replication task
• Post-migration performance optimization including query tuning, indexing strategy review, parameter group configuration, and CloudWatch metrics integration, with centralized logging and alerting on replication lag, error rates, and connection thresholds
• Distributed tracing and incident response setup using AWS X-Ray and EventBridge to track application-layer impact during cutover and automate rollback triggers when defined thresholds are breached
• Post-migration validation covering data integrity checks, performance benchmarking against pre-migration baselines, and SRE-aligned runbook documentation for ongoing database operations

• CTOs and IT leaders whose Oracle, SQL Server, or on-premises databases generate license renewal pressure, without a validated AWS migration path
• Enterprises operating multi-database environments across regions or accounts, where migration complexity has delayed action for multiple planning cycles
• Organizations that started a database migration assessment internally but lack AWS-specific expertise in DMS, SCT, and Aurora to translate findings into a sequenced implementation plan
• IT and cloud decision-makers preparing for compliance reviews that require documented data residency, backup, and incident response procedures aligned to AWS-native tooling

• AWS Advanced Tier Partner with 15 years of cloud infrastructure consulting experience since 2010, serving 300+ enterprise clients across 20+ industries
• SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27018:2019, and CMMI Level 3 certified, with 100% NDA-protected engagements covering every database migration project
• 95% client retention rate with a four-year average client relationship across Database Migration Services, cloud modernization, and managed cloud programs
• AWS Solutions Architect certified delivery team with hands-on implementation experience across AWS DMS, Amazon RDS, Aurora, AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT), and CloudWatch
