 Amazon Web Service Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) is based in the cloud and is optimized to migrate databases from on-premises to the cloud or from one cloud provider to another. It facilitates either one-time data migration or continual replication when the source and the target databases are kept in sync. AWS DMS is ideal to move data from relational databases, data warehouses, NoSQL databases, and more. Businesses today are focused on moving their databases to cloud-based platforms like Snowflake to get the most out of the environment. Some of the more common applications of Snowflake include data engineering, data application development, data lakes, and data science. The unique architecture of Snowflake ensures that users and workloads access a single copy of the data without any lag or drop in performance. Additionally, with Snowflake, it is possible to run data solutions across multiple regions and Clouds for an enhanced experience. There are several advantages of AWS DMS
