Migrate data from Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL to Amazon MemoryDB for Redis using AWS DMS

Blog



This article demonstrates how to migrate product catalog data from Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL to Amazon MemoryDB for Redis using AWS DMS, improving application performance through data offloading.

  • AWS DMS enables one-time migration of frequently accessed data between different database engines
  • MemoryDB provides durable, in-memory storage with microsecond read and millisecond write latency
  • Solution uses CloudFormation to deploy Aurora PostgreSQL, MemoryDB, DMS, and supporting AWS services
  • Data staging occurs in Aurora PostgreSQL before DMS migration task transfers product catalog to MemoryDB
  • Post-migration, applications read transactional data from Aurora and product catalog from MemoryDB
  • Estimated hourly cost approximately $3.00 in us-east-1 region as of February 2023

This approach separates transactional and frequently-accessed reference data across purpose-built databases, reducing bottlenecks and improving end-user experience.
