I am working on a project to migrate service from one database instance to another. My intention is to use AWS DMS to do replication from an RDS MySQL (source) instance to another RDS MySQL (target) instance and then cut the service over from connecting from the "source" to the "target" DB. I plan on having a task with Full load + CDC and doing the cutover only when on the CDC portion of the task
I am trying to plan on how much downtime I am going to need to take and I'm curious what kind of latency there is between writing to the source and replication to the target. Is it on the magnitude of ms, seconds, or minutes?
