Next steps

If you’re ready to migrate your on-premises PostgreSQL database to Amazon EC2, then we recommend that you consider the following next steps:

1. Monitor your application for any errors after migration and for slow running queries.

2. Set up monitoring, alerting, and a log analyzer solution for the database on Amazon EC2.

3. Set up regular maintenance scripts, tools, or admin activity for database maintenance.

4. Plan for a maintenance window and upgrade the database applications regularly.
