Your Db2 to Aurora Postgres migration, managed by senior engineers
Migrating IBM Db2 to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL is a well-understood project. Here’s how: our senior engineers use AWS SCT and DMS plus specialized code refactoring, with zero business disruption.
The lowest-cost way off IBM Db2: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM Db2 → Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope migration with senior platform engineers
- ✓Vendor support stays active while you plan the move
- ✓Third-party support covers most issues if renewal lapses
- ✓Zero business disruption during schema & data sync
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy Db2 support renewals
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout the project
Data center consolidation
Corporate data center exits forcing a move off legacy on-premise architectures.
Runaway license costs
High annual renewals for IBM Db2 LUW licenses eating your cloud budget.
Fear of breaking custom logic
Complex stored procedures and packages that make migration seem risky.
IBM Db2 → Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL migration — your questions answered
How do you handle complex Db2 stored procedures and packages during migration?+
Yes. We use AWS SCT and DMS plus specialized code refactoring to handle Db2-specific sequence generators, stored procedures, and packages. Your team doesn’t need to rewrite everything from scratch.
What about support while I migrate — will I have a coverage gap?+
As long as your vendor contract is active, Db2 stays under vendor support. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues while you complete the move (patches excluded).
My database logic has proprietary MQSeries integration. Can you migrate that?+
Yes, we refactor or sandbox that logic. It’s a common blocker, but our engineers have deep experience isolating and transforming MQSeries dependencies so Aurora PostgreSQL remains clean.
What is the typical timeline and cost for a Db2 to Aurora migration?+
Timelines typically run 5-11 months with 3-5 consultants. Budgets range $130,000–$800,000 depending on database complexity and volume. We give fixed-scope quotes upfront.
