Migrating Databases to FlexusRDS for PostgreSQL Using DRS

You can migrate data from RDS for PostgreSQL, self-managed PostgreSQL databases, PostgreSQL databases built on other clouds, self-managed Oracle databases, RDS for MySQL, self-managed MySQL databases, or MySQL databases built on other clouds to FlexusRDS for PostgreSQL, or from one FlexusRDS for PostgreSQL instance to another FlexusRDS for PostgreSQL instance.

You are advised to use Data Replication Service (DRS) to migrate data because it is easy to use and can complete a migration task in minutes. It facilitates data transfer between databases, helping you reduce DBA labor costs and hardware costs.
