AWS DMS: Architecture, Best Practices, and Limitations

Let's be honest. AWS DMS looks simple on the surface, but the real challenges often show up mid-migration, leaving you scrambling. The official documentation can only take you so far. What you really need is advice from someone who's been in the trenches.

That's exactly why we're hosting this webinar. Join our Mydbops expert, Arun, for a practical, no-fluff session on AWS Database Migration Service. He's spent countless hours using DMS for complex client migrations and has learned firsthand what works, what breaks, and what the manuals don't tell you.

This is your chance to learn from his direct experience and get answers to your toughest DMS questions.

SPEAKER: Arun, Mydbops

TOPIC: AWS DMS: Architecture, Best Practices, and Limitations

Here’s a Glimpse of What Arun Will Cover:

This isn't just a list of features. We're focusing on the practical knowledge you can apply immediately to your own projects.

  • How DMS Actually Works (Under the Hood)
    • Forget the complex diagrams for a moment. Get a clear, simple breakdown of the replication instance, endpoints, and the full load vs. CDC process. We'll focus on the parts you actually need to understand to troubleshoot effectively.

  • Real-World Migration Strategies That Work
    • Arun will walk through common migration jobs he's handled. We're talking about everything from simple lift-and-shift tasks to the tricky heterogeneous migrations that cause the biggest headaches. You'll see the practical steps that led to success.

  • Performance Tuning That Makes a Difference
    • Is your migration running painfully slow? Learn how to spot the real bottlenecks (is it the source, the network, or the target?) and which specific task settings to tweak for a serious speed boost.

  • The Honest Truth: When Not to Use DMS
    • DMS isn't a silver bullet, and anyone who says it is hasn't used it enough. We'll have a frank discussion about its limitations and the specific scenarios where you should probably look for an alternative tool. This part alone could save you days of frustration.

  • Essential Security & Validation Tips
    • We'll cover the crucial security settings to protect your data in transit and, just as importantly, how to properly validate your data after the migration is "complete" to ensure nothing was lost or corrupted.

This webinar is built for:

  • Database Administrators who are hands-on with migrations.
  • DevOps and SREs responsible for migration pipelines.
  • Data Engineers and Architects planning their next move to the cloud.

Stop guessing and start migrating with confidence.
