SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, #amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), announced the general availability of Babelfish for #amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition, a new capability that allows customers to run applications written for Microsoft SQL Server directly on #amazon Aurora with little to no code changes. Babelfish for Aurora PostgreSQL enables #amazon Aurora to understand commands from applications written for Microsoft SQL Server, making it easier for customers to migrate to #amazon Aurora. With Babelfish for Aurora PostgreSQL, customers simply migrate their data and configure their application to point to #amazon Aurora, reducing costs and simplifying operations by removing the dependency on Microsoft SQL Server. Also announced today, open-source Babelfish for PostgreSQL makes the same Microsoft SQL Server language capability in Babelfish for Aurora PostgreSQL available to any organization interested in running PostgreSQL, and the source code for Babelfish for PostgreSQL is available on GitHub under the permissive Apache 2.0 and PostgreSQL licenses for anyone who wants to extend it or use it for any purpose under the terms of the license.

“More and more customers have told us they want a fast, inexpensive, and low-risk way to break free from old-guard database vendors and their punitive licensing terms, high costs, and lack of innovation”

Constrained by commercial-grade database options that don’t offer the flexibility and database freedom of modern offerings, customers have long been unhappy with old-guard database providers. Commercial-grade databases offer high performance but are expensive, proprietary, and have high lock-in and punitive licensing terms that arbitrarily change. Many customers have moved to open-source database engines like PostgreSQL and MySQL because they want the performance of commercial-grade databases with the pricing and flexibility open-source engines provide. However, configuring open-source database engines to achieve high performance is time consuming and labor intensive. That’s why today more than 100,000 customers choose to run their database workloads on #amazon Aurora, a fully managed MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible database that delivers the performance and availability of the highest-grade commercial databases at one tenth the cost. Today, customers use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate databases to the #cloud and take advantage of high-performance open-source engines. However, once the initial database migration is complete, customers still need to migrate their application logic to run on PostgreSQL. Migrating application logic requires manual coding, is time consuming, and is often tied to proprietary database commands. Customers interested in adopting PostgreSQL and enjoying the benefits of running an open-source database engine on AWS want an easier way to migrate their Microsoft SQL Server applications to #amazon Aurora.
