RDS to Cloud SQL Migration

Move your Amazon RDS and Aurora databases to fully managed Google Cloud SQL, schema, data, stored procedures and application connections intact, with continuous replication and a low-downtime cutover.

Amazon RDS to Google Cloud SQL migration
Quick answer

Yes, you can migrate from Amazon RDS to Google Cloud SQL. Codimite, a Google Cloud Partner, moves RDS and Aurora databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server) to Cloud SQL using Google's Database Migration Service. For same-engine moves we use continuous replication, so your RDS stays live until a short, validated cutover, preserving schema, data, stored procedures and connections while consolidating your data estate on Google Cloud.

Why migrate

Why teams move from Amazon RDS to Cloud SQL

Fully managed, less ops

Cloud SQL handles backups, patching, replication and failover, so your team stops babysitting database infrastructure.

Strong price-performance

Right-sized instances, committed-use discounts and per-second billing typically improve total cost versus an equivalent RDS footprint.

High availability built in

Regional HA with automatic failover and read replicas for scaling reads, configured for you.

One data platform

Native integration with BigQuery (federated queries, Datastream), GKE, Cloud Run and IAM, instead of bridging AWS to your analytics and apps.

Consolidation

Moving the database alongside other workloads on Google Cloud removes cross-cloud egress and a second cloud bill.

What we migrate

What we migrate from Amazon RDS

RDS / Aurora object Migrates to Cloud SQL Notes
Schema (tables, indexes, constraints) Schema on Cloud SQL Same-engine moves transfer with minimal change; validated table-by-table
Data (rows / large tables) Data via DMS Continuous replication keeps source and target in sync until cutover
Stored procedures, functions, triggers, views Stored procedures & routines Tested on Cloud SQL; RDS-specific extensions re-mapped
Application connections Connections & endpoints Repointed to Cloud SQL via Cloud SQL Auth Proxy / private IP
Users, roles & grants Cloud SQL users & IAM Mapped to Cloud SQL and Cloud IAM database authentication
Parameter / config settings Cloud SQL flags Equivalent flags applied; non-portable RDS params flagged early

Same-engine moves (RDS/Aurora for MySQL or PostgreSQL to Cloud SQL) are the smoothest path. RDS for SQL Server and engine changes need additional schema and procedure work, scoped during assessment.

Our process

Our RDS to Cloud SQL migration process

  1. 1

    Assess

    We inventory your RDS/Aurora instances, engines, versions, data volume, stored procedures and application dependencies, and confirm what is portable.

  2. 2

    Convert schema

    We provision Cloud SQL, validate schema and stored procedures, and re-map any RDS-specific extensions or parameters.

  3. 3

    Migrate via DMS

    Google Database Migration Service performs the initial load and continuous replication, keeping RDS live in parallel.

  4. 4

    Validate

    Row counts, checksums and application tests confirm data integrity and that procedures, queries and connections behave identically.

  5. 5

    Cutover

    A short, scheduled switch repoints applications to Cloud SQL once replication is caught up, with a tested rollback path.

  6. 6

    Hypercare

    Post-cutover performance tuning, monitoring and support through stabilization.

FAQs

RDS to Cloud SQL migration FAQ

Can you migrate RDS with minimal downtime?

Yes, for same-engine moves, Database Migration Service replicates continuously, so RDS stays live and the cutover is a short, scheduled switch. The exact window depends on your workload, confirmed during assessment.

Does Aurora migrate too?

Yes. Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL move to Cloud SQL for MySQL/PostgreSQL; Aurora-specific features are re-mapped to Cloud SQL equivalents.

Do stored procedures and triggers transfer?

For same-engine moves they transfer with little change. We test each routine on Cloud SQL and adjust anything that relies on RDS-specific extensions.

How long does it take?

Days for a single small database; two to six weeks for a multi-database estate, driven by data volume and application coupling.

What does it cost?

Pricing is scoped to database count, data volume and procedure complexity. Start with a free assessment for a fixed quote.
