While there are a number of tools to choose from, this blog explores how to leverage AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) to migrate from Aurora PostgreSQL to CockroachDB using a replication instance.

As a leading distributed SQL database, CockroachDB, provides a number of capabilities to allow organizations and users to recover from disaster. Physical Cluster Replication, or PCR for short, is one such feature that enables operators to add "warm standby" clusters to their most critical CockroachDB deployments as an added layer of resilience and disaster preparedness in what is often called an "active-passive" configuration.
