Frequently asked questions
Does AWS DMS support MongoDB to PostgreSQL?
Yes, AWS DMS supports MongoDB as a source and PostgreSQL as a target. However, it lacks built-in schema mapping for nested documents and NoSQL-specific types — you'll need to write manual transformation rules.
Can I use NoSQLSync with AWS databases?
Yes. NoSQLSync works with RDS PostgreSQL, Aurora, DynamoDB, Redshift, and any self-hosted database on EC2. It's cloud-agnostic.
