Migrating MySQL databases and tables to Snowflake

MySQL/MariaDB/AWS Aurora is a relational database (RDBMS) that often comes with high licensing fees to host an enterprise’s most important data. MySQL also requires a significant amount of work to set up and maintain, both for hardware (network, storage, OS patching, configuration) and the software (configuration, updates). The primary goal when migrating to the Snowflake Data Cloud is to reduce the costs and operational burden of running licensed OLAP database systems on-premises, in favor of a cloud native, pay-for- what-you-use SaaS counterpart.
