I originally wanted to use DMS but our DB failed the pre-migration assessment so that forced us to Logical Replication.
We also worked with Jesse. You are right he is amazingly helpful. Unfortunately we got some pretty questionable help from others before he was assigned to our support ticket but once that happened it was infinitely improved.
Ahhhh... well you might've dodged a bullet to be honest! If I were to do it all again, there's a good chance I might stick with the standard tools rather than DMS.
Thanks for the in depth article by the way, very well written!
Keep an eye on your AuroraStorageIO costs going forward, as we said, we halved our costs and increased performance by switching back to RDS and increasing the PIOPs available. I'm sure that'll be workload sensitive though, so YMMV. We did a bunch of benchmarking, and aurora seemed nice apart from this.
We must've lucked out, as we got Jesse at the start.
