AWS re:Invent 2018: Accelerate Oracle to Aurora PostgreSQL Migration (GPSTEC313)

Published on Nov 30, 2018

There is a lot of interest these days in migrating data from commercial relational databases to open-source relational databases. PostgreSQL is a great choice for migration, offering advanced features, high performance, rock-solid data integrity, and a flexible open-source license. PostgreSQL is compliant with ANSI SQL. It supports drivers for nearly all development languages, and it has a strong community of active committers and companies to provide support. In this talk, we demonstrate an overall approach for migrating an application from your current Oracle database to an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database.
