Assess a relational database for modernization on AWS. Analyzes your real schema and queries, scores each query pattern against purpose-built engines (DynamoDB, DocumentDB, Aurora, OpenSearch, ElastiCache), and produces schema designs, migration waves and cost estimates. Runs locally with Claude Code.

The help site is at aws-samples.github.io/sample-aws-genai-db-modernizer. It has the same quick start plus other ways to run the tool, how to read the results, a sample report, an FAQ and how to contribute. The overview and quick start below are the source for those pages on the site.
A full /modernize run on the WordPress sample (47 minutes, time-lapsed), then the local UI: the executive summary, the query flow, the cost per engine and the access pattern explorer.
Moving off a monolithic relational database raises hard questions. Which queries belong in DynamoDB? Which need a document store? What stays relational? A wrong answer can force a redesign in the middle of the project.
**Database Modernizer Assessment answers these questions
