About Azure Database Migration Service<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Azure Database Migration Service is a fully-managed service provided by Microsoft that enables organizations to migrate their on-premises databases to Azure with minimal downtime and data loss. The service supports various database engines such as SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service works by setting up a replication process between the source database and the target database in Azure. The replication process is done using a migration tool that captures changes in the source database and applies them to the target database in near real-time. Once the replication process is complete, the migration tool performs a final sync to ensure that all data is accurately transferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
