Sessions for 2026

Accelerate SQL Server Modernization to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with Agentic AI
 

Modernizing SQL Server workloads to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL is often slowed by schema conversion complexity and application refactoring. This workshop demonstrates how AWS Transform uses agentic AI to automate the end-to-end modernization journey—from database assessment and schema conversion to infrastructure provisioning and application code transformation. Come and learn by doing through hands-on labs, where traditionally manual, error-prone migration steps become guided, production-ready workflows aligned with AWS best practices—reducing migration risk, minimizing developer effort, and accelerating delivery timelines.
