While there are a number of tools to choose from, this blog explores how to leverage AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) to migrate from Aurora PostgreSQL to CockroachDB using a replication instance. This approach is particularly useful for customers who are already using DMS for an existing ETL pipeline and need to replace their current target database. This guide highlights how to configure DMS to work seamlessly with CockroachDB as the target, allowing you to continue using your existing ETL pipeline without modification, just as you did with a self-managed PostgreSQL or Aurora PG target machine.
