Real-Time Database Streaming with Confluent and Amazon Aurora

This blog post discusses a strategy for migrating data from on-premise relational databases to Amazon Aurora using Confluent technology. The process involves setting up real-time applications with legacy or existing data sources and building a streaming data pipeline that integrates with the cloud database. By moving to real-time streaming, organizations can provide application teams with faster access to data and deliver new features and capabilities at scale. Amazon Aurora is a fully managed relational database service designed for running in the cloud, offering high performance and availability while automating time-consuming administration tasks. The migration process involves setting up Confluent connectors to synchronize data between on-premise databases and Amazon Aurora, followed by cutting over event-driven applications to source data from Aurora. This approach helps organizations modernize their database strategy and improve agility, elasticity, and cost efficiency in the cloud environment.
