Database migration and continuous replication Direct match
AWS DMS maps to Database Migration Service (one-time and continuous migrations into Cloud SQL and AlloyDB) and Datastream (serverless change data capture).
- Database Migration Service targets Cloud SQL and AlloyDB; for other targets, use Datastream.
- Heterogeneous migrations (for example Oracle to PostgreSQL) include schema conversion.
Zero-ETL replication into analytics Partial match
RDS and Aurora zero-ETL integrations map partly to Datastream replication into BigQuery, or to BigQuery federated queries against Cloud SQL. AlloyDB's columnar engine handles analytics in place.
- Datastream is a CDC pipeline you configure, not a single checkbox integration.
- Federated queries read live data without copying it.
