Migrate to an AWS database: The freedom to save, grow, and innovate
summary
AWS claims fully managed options (Aurora, DynamoDB, DocumentDB, Keyspaces, RDS on Outposts/VMware) and says customers cut costs and increase performance by moving off legacy engines. Examples include 350,000+ migrations with Database Migration Service, Samsung moving 400M accounts / 1.1B users (80k req/s) to Aurora in 18 months and cutting DB costs 44%, Kaplan consolidating 12 to 4 datacenters by moving SQL Server to Aurora, and Experian reaching 100% uptime and cutting admin work from months to hours.
