There are tons in the market and my company is looking at a few of them to move really large amounts of data (relational databases). Asked on the forum just out of curiosity since there are people from different domains on forums.

How much data is a lot to you? I find that people think they have a lot, comparatively it ends up being minimal.

The AWS S3 command line interface works fine.

Do you have an IT department or an outsourced vendor? If so, rely on their guidance.

I mean, it depends on where you have your data now, where in the cloud you want to put it, etc.

The answer is different for every company. You need to take time to understand what your IT landscape is right now, what you want the cloud-future to be, and plan out the strategy for getting there. For every system you leave and/or go to, the options for getting there may be different.

Did you really think you'd find this answer in a forum? If your company can't figure this out on their own, hire consultants.

Drag and drop up to S3. We didn't need to move everything we have up to the cloud to make a complete replica of our on prem systems. We just allowed people to move data up for whatever they needed per project. Uploads are free and most of our old data is never accessed anyway. Our staff have gotten acclimated to working on the cloud at there own pace. Now we're to the point that we are putting data into deep freeze, and the old data that never got moved is still on the old servers that are now being mothballed.

Anyone?

If your company is moving data from on-prem to cloud, what tools are you using to move the data?
Goldengate... Nifi.... what else?
What tool have you liked the most?
