Modernize SQL Server databases to Aurora PostgreSQL using AWS Transform

This article explains how AWS Transform's Offline Source feature simplifies SQL Server modernization to Aurora PostgreSQL by eliminating infrastructure prerequisites through DDL file uploads.

• Upload SQL Server DDL files instead of requiring live database connectivity and credential sharing
• LLM-based schema conversion handles complex T-SQL patterns and proprietary SQL Server syntax
• Three-layer validation (structural, semantic, functional) ensures converted objects preserve business logic
• Automated deployment provisions Aurora PostgreSQL clusters and applies converted schemas
• Integrated .NET application code assessment and transformation for ADO.NET and Entity Framework applications
• Optional synthetic data generation for testing without exposing production data
• Web console and MCP Server support for reviewing and fixing conversion issues

AWS Transform removes friction from SQL Server modernization by enabling assessment and conversion without infrastructure setup, making it accessible for organizations with strict security policies or databases behind firewalls.
