Babelfish

Babelfish is a software feature developed by Amazon Web Services that acts as a translation layer, allowing applications written for one database system (like SQL Server) to run seamlessly on a different platform (such as Amazon Aurora) without needing major rewrites. It interprets the database commands and converts them in real-time, enabling compatibility across different database environments. Essentially, Babelfish simplifies migrating and integrating databases by bridging differences, making it easier for organizations to move systems without losing functionality or requiring extensive reprogramming.
