Database Migration Services
Migrate databases between engines, versions, and hosts.
Database migrations look simple on paper and break in production. We plan migrations with cutover rehearsals, dual-write strategies where downtime is unacceptable, and rollback paths at every step so launch day is boring.
Across versions, engines, and hosting providers (RDS, Aurora, Cloud SQL, Atlas, self-hosted).
Common problems
- Upgrading major versions with breaking changes
- Moving from self-hosted to managed (or vice versa)
- Switching engines (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL)
- Need zero or near-zero downtime cutover
What's included
- Migration plan with cutover rehearsal
- Schema and data transformation scripts
- Dual-write or replication-based zero-downtime path
- Validation queries and reconciliation reports
- Cutover with rollback path
- Written migration report
