Database Migration
Sticking to the best practices can increase the likelihood of successful database migration. Some of the practices we follow through a well-planned database migration strategy include,
Focus on Efficiency: Start Small, Scale Smart
Research shows that unforeseen changes are common in data migration projects. In fact, 90% of projects experience adjustments to their initial specifications. To mitigate this risk, we recommend starting with a focused approach. If we’re dealing with multiple databases, we consider migrating a few subset of them first. This allows us to test the approach and gain confidence before tackling a larger scope.
Understanding Your Data Landscape
Before embarking on the database migration journey, it’s essential to take stock of the existing data. This includes factors like the type and volume of information you’re working with, the operating systems involved, and the source and target database platforms.
By analyzing your data landscape, we can identify potential opportunities for optimization. For instance, we might discover outdated records that can be safely archived or removed. Additionally, we can proactively address any compatibility challenges that might arise when migrating between different database structures (heterogeneous migration), such as relational (e.g., Oracle) and non-relational (e.g., MongoDB) systems.
