We successfully completed a heterogeneous database replication project, migrating data from Aurora MySQL 8 to Amazon RDS for SQL Server 2019 Standard, using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) in Serverless mode.
Throughout the process, we implemented data transformation on the fly, adapting both structure and content to ensure full compatibility between the two engines. This approach enabled us to maintain data integrity while minimizing downtime and simplifying cross-platform migrations.
🧩 AWS DMS Serverless made it possible to:
-
Automatically adjust capacity based on replication needs.
-
Apply transformation rules in transit.
-
Monitor replication metrics through CloudWatch.
-
Simplify architecture without managing replication servers.
📊 This type of implementation is ideal for organizations seeking cost-effective, scalable, and secure data migration across heterogeneous database platforms.
