Integration Planning - Spatial Data Management on AWS

Integration Planning

External Systems

The solution provides a Connector feature that enables you to build connectors for external applications using REST APIs. Before configuring external application integrations, understand the following:

  • Connector interfaces and REST API requirements

  • Authentication and authorization requirements for external systems

  • Data format and payload specifications

Recommended Approach:

  1. Start with a proof of concept to validate the integration approach

  2. Test the connector in a test mode deployment

  3. Deploy to production workloads only after successful validation

Data Migration

Plan and implement a migration strategy for your current workloads. Use a gradual, phased approach to minimize risk and impact:

  • Assess existing data volume and characteristics

  • Plan a phased migration approach considering scale and operational impact

  • Implement backups before each migration phase

  • Define verification procedures to confirm successful data migration

  • Validate data integrity and completeness after each phase

  • Document completion criteria and sign-off procedures

Data Upload Methods:

You can upload data to the solution using one of the following methods:

  • Programmatic migration – Use REST APIs to create resource structures and obtain temporary S3 credentials, then upload directly to Amazon S3

  • Client applications – Use the web portal or desktop application for interactive uploads
