Migrating data to Snowflake? Read this before getting started!

Today, fast moving businesses have become synonymous with data. As the demand and need for advanced, personalised, real-time data continues to increase, many businesses have chosen to rely on Snowflake for data warehousing and management needs. For the uninitiated, Snowflake is a powerful, cloud-based database management tool which is used as the source database by businesses who want to run data analytics, auditing and generating insights.

 

The need for keeping primary and secondary databases separate is simple - it reduces unwanted complexity and overload on the system while performing big data analytics. Snowflake integrates seamlessly with cloud based solutions like Google Cloud, Oracle and AWS. If you are considering AWS DMS to Snowflake integration, then it could be a step in the right direction to ensure your business intelligence stays ahead of the curve with real-time, accurate and dedicated virtual data servers dedicated to your business needs.


In order to load data from AWS DMS to Snowflake, you can choose from two different approaches. The first one involves writing custom scripts and knowing coding to connect these two different database solutions together. This method has advantages but it requires significant overheads and resources for seamless execution. The second approach is to choose a third-party data management service platform like Bryteflow.

 

Bryteflow supports direct integrations with DMS along with dozens of other data sources to continuously and seamlessly replicate your business data to Snowflake. Using Bryteflow’s real-time, self-serve no-code technology, businesses can easily leverage the scale and potential of Snowflake’s virtual data warehouses.

Database Replication and the Features of An Optimized Tool

A host of functions are supported by a database replication tool. These include data security, disaster data recovery and resilience, and business continuity. However, the functions of a database replication tool are quite different from data backup even though both are often used interchangeably.
