Databases

The timeline for database migration varies based on the complexity and size of your databases. A small to mid-sized database might take 4-8 weeks, while larger enterprise migrations can take 3-6 months. During our assessment phase, we'll provide a detailed timeline specific to your database environment.

We design our migration strategy to minimize downtime. This typically involves using change data capture (CDC) technologies and staging environments. For many migrations, we can implement near-zero downtime approaches by maintaining synchronization between source and target databases during the cutover period.

Data security is paramount in our migration strategy. We employ encryption for data in transit and at rest, implement strict access controls, and follow industry best practices for secure data migration. All processes comply with relevant regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, or other industry-specific requirements applicable to your business.

Yes. Our team has extensive experience migrating from proprietary database systems like Oracle and SQL Server to open-source alternatives like PostgreSQL and MySQL. We handle schema conversion, data migration, code refactoring, and performance optimization to ensure your applications work seamlessly with the new database platform.

Database modernization offers numerous benefits including reduced licensing costs, improved scalability, better performance, increased agility, and access to modern features like built-in AI capabilities. Modernized databases are also typically easier to integrate with cloud services, enabling advanced analytics and machine learning applications.
