AWS DMS
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is a managed service that enables seamless and secure migration of databases to AWS. It supports homogeneous migrations (e.g., Oracle to Oracle) and heterogeneous migrations (e.g., Oracle to Amazon Aurora) with minimal downtime. DMS can also be used for continuous data replication to keep source and target databases synchronized.
