At the moment Postgres support is only for new projects, we don't provide a migration tool, but one could be implemented.

Thanks! For Reply. I have a question regarding your answer - What do you mean by New Projects? please explain. Could RDS implement after migration? as I have a production code for parse migrated app using MongoDB, in which all things are running correctly, but I want to use RDS in place of MongoDB as security and backup purpose. please suggest asap.

What I mean by new projects is projects that were not originally hosted on parse.com i.e. A project with no data in it.

What you want to achieve is possible, given you implement a migration tool.

[komalkk]

Thanks! Actualy i dont have such migration tool and as per our requiremenet we do not have enough time to create our tool from scratch. So can you please suggest me any tools that are known to you and that will help in migrating my database from mongodb to AWS RDS specifically for the case when our required mongodb database was previously hosted on parse.com. It will be thankful to you. !!

We don't have any tool implemented. I recommend you stick with mongodb in the meantime.

[christianpbrink]

@flovilmart Do you know any examples / experience reports of parse-server users migrating from mongo to postgres? I know I'd need to implement my own migration tool but I think it would be useful to see what others have done.

[danepowell]

@komalkk @christianpbrink did you ever end up finishing the migration to Postgres? Do you (or anyone else involved in this thread) have advice on how to perform a migration from Mongo to Postgres?

I need to switch a production Parse app from Mongo to AWS RDS or Aurora (Postgres) for financial reasons. I have no idea where to start setting up such a migration, other than to start banging around with MoSQL and see what breaks.

Hi! Since it’s been a few years I just wanted to check if anyone has done this since and has anything to share.
