Amazon Timestream for LiveAnalytics is now supported by AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS).
Timestream is a serverless time series database service that stores and analyzes trillions of events per day.
AWS DMS allows you to migrate time-series data from an AWS DMS supported source database to Timestream with reduced downtime.
Timestream supports AWS DMS Parallel Load and Parallel Apply features for a faster data transfer.
This post provides a guide for migrating data from an example PostgreSQL source endpoint in AWS DMS to Timestream.
The guide includes setting up a Timestream database, creating a target Timestream endpoint, and creating a migration task.
Configuration of the AWS DMS migration task with a Timestream target endpoint is detailed, including table mappings and parallel load and apply settings.
Error handling and instructions for how to clean up resources once migration is complete are also included.
The guide enables running a full end-to-end migration from a relational database to Timestream.
The new migration capability paves the way for a range of use cases to derive real-time insights, monitor critical business applications, and analyze millions of real-time events across websites and applications.
