One of the steps in migrating a database to the cloud involves transferring existing data from the source (on premises) to the target (cloud). For medium and large databases, such as those ranging from hundreds of gigabytes to 5 terabytes, speed of data transfer matters. One of the challenges is to minimize the downtime of […]

While migrating workloads from the Azure Cloud to the AWS Cloud, organizations explore optimal, managed database services to replace their Cosmos DB databases. As NoSQL databases become more ubiquitous, especially those that support the Apache 2.0 open-source MongoDB APIs, our customers often choose HAQM DocumentDB because it’s a scalable, highly durable, and fully managed database […]

Migration of SAP ASE (previously known as Sybase ASE) to HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) for SQL Server is heterogeneous in nature and consists of major phases such as pre-migration assessments, conversion of database schema, and post-migration validation. Because the migration process involves code conversion, it involves the crucial task of validating the converted […]

As part of this blog series, we previously covered database object validation for migrations from SAP ASE (previously known as Sybase ASE) as source to target databases like HAQM Relational Database Service(HAQM RDS) for SQL Server, HAQM RDS for MySQL, HAQM RDS for MariaDB, or HAQM Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition. In the final post of this […]

In this post, we focus on database object validation for the heterogenous migration from SAP ASE to HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) for MySQL, HAQM RDS for MariaDB, or HAQM Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition. For schema conversion and migration, you can use AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT). AWS SCT helps convert your database schema […]

For decades, IT administrators could only run their SQL Server workloads on Windows. However, as of SQL Server 2017, SQL Server is now available to run in the Linux operating system. For IT administrators, this represents an opportunity to run SQL Server workloads on their preferred operating system, save on Windows Server licensing costs, and […]

Database migration can be a complicated task. It presents all the challenges of changing your software platform, understanding source data complexity, data loss checks, thoroughly testing existing functionality, comparing application performance, and validating your data. AWS provides several tools and services that provide a pre-migration checklist and migration assessments. You can use the AWS Schema […]

To increase the speed and quality of development, you may use continuous delivery strategies to manage and deploy your application code changes. However, continuous delivery for database migrations is often a manual process. Adopting continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) for database migrations has the following benefits: An automated multi-account setup simplifies database migrations. The […]

Let’s say you have an application that uses database tables to store log and clickstream data. You might store your data in a relational database to ease development and management tasks. When you launch your application, the database is manageable at first, but it grows to hundreds of gigabytes per week. Data storage and retrieval […]
