We did it
With great pleasure, we announce that Cloudwalker has achieved AWS Service Validation for the Database Migration Service (DMS). This recognition is the result of our continuous effort and dedication to providing top-notch database migration services to the AWS cloud.
"AWS Service Validation for DMS is not a badge — it's proof of work, delivered at scale."
What is AWS Database Migration Service?
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is like highly sophisticated navigation equipment for spacecraft. It enables seamless and efficient database migration to the AWS cloud, just as navigation systems enable precise maneuvering through the vast expanse of space. Whether migrating from on-premises environments or other cloud platforms, DMS facilitates continuous data replication, meaning your database can remain operational throughout the migration process.
DMS supports various database types, including relational databases, NoSQL databases, and data warehouses — Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sybase, MongoDB, and more. Targets include Amazon RDS, Aurora, Redshift, S3, Kinesis, and DynamoDB.
Why is DMS Service Validation important?
Just as a space mission requires precise tools and crew expertise, the DMS Service Validation confirms that Cloudwalker possesses the specific skills and experience needed to utilise this tool effectively for database migration. This recognition assures our clients that we deliver high-quality migration services in line with AWS's best practices and standards.
It also highlights our ability to successfully complete migration projects and achieve positive outcomes for our clients — not just technically, but in terms of business continuity, data integrity, and timeline predictability.
What the validation process entailed
To receive AWS Service Validation for DMS, Cloudwalker had to meet a series of stringent criteria and demonstrate its capabilities — much like astronauts proving their skills before launch. This process included:
- Proving expertise — our team had to demonstrate deep understanding of AWS DMS, migration architectures, CDC pipelines, and replication best practices.
- Successfully completed projects — we presented completed migration projects that met AWS's rigorous standards for scale, complexity, and outcome.
- Positive client feedback — clients confirmed our ability to deliver high-quality services and exceed their expectations across planning, execution, and post-migration support.
Our commitment to excellence
Just as astronauts seek new horizons, so does the Cloudwalker team. Our engineers — holding over 43 AWS certifications, including specialisations in DMS — are ready to tackle even the most complex migration challenges. We use the latest technologies and methods, and we apply lessons learned from managing nearly 200 databases in production across our client portfolio.
At Cloudwalker, migration is not a one-time event. We run ongoing CDC pipelines, monitor replication lag, handle schema evolution, and maintain full auditability — all so our clients can trust their data at every step.
