AWS now lets you migrate MongoDB databases to DynamoDB




The public cloud infrastructure provider Amazon Web Services (AWS) today announced an upgrade to its database migration service (DMS). Now, people can transfer their databases into the NoSQL MongoDB open source database in the NoSQL service managed by DynamoDB owning AWS with the help of DMS.

In fact, DMS now supports the migration of NoSQL databases in general, AWS said in a blog post. This suggests that more NoSQL databases could get official DMS support in the future. Currently, DMS can work with Oracle databases, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Amazon Aurora, PostgreSQL and SAP ASE, said Amazon.

AWS presented the DMS and the compatible schema conversion tool in 2015. In December, AWS CEO Andy Jassy said that DMS had made 16,000 migrations in 2016. In total, More than 22,000 migrations, Jassy said in a tweet last month.

In February AWS announced that the schema conversion tool could take data from Oracle and Teradata data warehouses and prepare it for installation in the AWS Redshift data storage service.

MongoDB was once a very trendy technology among developers. The company behind it, also called MongoDB, offers a managed version of the database hosted on AWS. Now, AWS will be able to generate revenue where organizations had previously sought to use MongoDB for databases in their on-site data centers. In other words, AWS is now challenging its own client, and this is not the first time it's happening .
