AWS DMS

Database Migration Service – AWS DMS

It assists in transferring data between databases.

There are two types of databases involved: a source database and a target database.

The source database is where the data is migrated from.

The target database is where the data is migrated to.

Your source database will continue to operate during the migration process. AWS DMS is user-friendly, minimizes application downtime, supports a wide variety of databases, is cost-effective, and is reliable.
