AWS Database Migration Service - SERVERLESS EDITION!!!

In a previous post we walked through setting up an instance of the AWS Database Migration Service. In that build we used a DMS Replication Instance that we provisioned. At a high level, the implementation looked like this…

Well would you look at that! Our DMS Replication Instance is watching Netflix and playing on his phone! He’s not even working and he’s still costing us a ton of money! Yup, that’s how it works. Even if your instance isn’t actually performing a migration you are still going to be paying the full hourly rate for the server.

I am definitely not a Database Expert! But, if you are anything like me, your various roles have required you to jump in and out of that world once or twice a year. Enough to get your boots a little muddy. I was recently tasked with standing up an instance of the AWS Database Migration Service at work and I definitely had that brief wave of anxiety hit me.

But……as always, it wasn’t that bad at all once you get into it. The AWS side of things is pretty straight forward and if you come into this with a smidge of DB knowledge I think you’ll find it a rewarding experience. Kind of like an after school special where everybody learned a little bit more about themselves that day.
