This pattern shows you how to automate the process of replicating, tracking, and rolling back your Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) DB instances across different AWS accounts by using AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda. You can use this automation to perform large-scale replication of RDS DB instances without any performance impact or operational overhead—regardless of the size of your organization. You can also use this pattern to help your organization comply with mandatory data governance strategies or compliance requirements that call for your data to be replicated and redundant across different AWS accounts and AWS Regions. Cross-account replication of Amazon RDS data at scale is an inefficient and error-prone manual process that can be costly and time-consuming, but the automation in this pattern can help you achieve cross-account replication safely, effectively, and efficiently.
