Episode 75: Database Migration Service

August 31, 2025 · 23 min

Show notes

In this episode, we focus on AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), which simplifies the process of migrating databases to AWS with minimal downtime. Whether you’re moving a database to Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, or any other AWS service, DMS allows you to replicate your data in real-time and complete your migration with minimal disruption to your applications. We’ll walk you through the steps involved in using DMS, from setting up source and target endpoints to configuring migration tasks and monitoring the migration process.

We’ll also discuss the benefits of using DMS, including support for heterogeneous migrations (e.g., migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL) and homogeneous migrations (e.g., MySQL to MySQL). Additionally, we’ll cover how DMS can be used for ongoing data replication and disaster recovery solutions. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to leverage AWS DMS to migrate your databases efficiently and securely to AWS, while ensuring minimal downtime and data consistency.
