If you're afraid you'll lose your data just back it up. Connect to it using DBeaver or some other client and back it up before starting the transfer. – Dromedary

Answer 1

There are many way to migrate to AWS, it depends on which approach you would like to go for.

1. You have the expertises in managing server and don't mind maintaining it; Use EC2: https://medium.com/saarthi-ai/ec2apachedjango-838e3f6014ab

2. You just want to deploy it and don't want to deal with server/patching and so on using Elastic BeanStalk: https://www.andrlik.org/dispatches/migrate-django-heroku-elastic-beanstalk/

3. Cost is very important to you, you may use AWS lightsail: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/deploy-python-application/

4. You application is containerized, you may use AWS ECS: https://testdriven.io/blog/deploying-django-to-ecs-with-terraform/

Answer 2

A simpler and more scalable alternative than EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Lightsail, and AWS ECS is to use Qovery, which will use EKS (Kubernetes) and manage it for you. With zero knowledge of AWS, EKS, and Kubernetes, you have a production-ready setup in 15 minutes.
