How this migration runs

Oracle DatabasePostgreSQL, in four moves.

01

Audit

We snapshot the schema, the indexes, the stored procs, and the people who use it day to day.

02

Plan

Migration sequence, rollback path, parallel-run schedule. You approve every step before we move.

03

Migrate

Stream the data, verify checksums, replay the audit trail. Both stacks run side by side until cutover passes every test.

04

Operate

Documentation in your repo, monitoring on your infra. We stay on as the team that maintains and grows it.
