6 Essential Database Migrations
Shaping Tomorrow’s Digital Landscape

Oracle to
PostgreSQL
From: Oracle (on-premises or cloud)
To: PostgreSQL (cloud or on-prem)
Reasons: Oracle’s licensing costs, vendor lock-in, and the need for open-source flexibility are pushing organizations to migrate to PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is widely adopted due to its scalability, open-source nature, and support for complex queries. It is also a cost-effective alternative.
Industries: Finance, retail, and healthcare are among the key sectors adopting this migration.
SQL Server to Azure SQL Managed Instance
From: SQL Server (on-prem)
To: Azure SQL Managed Instance
Reasons: Organizations using SQL Server on-premises are shifting to Azure for a fully managed database experience, reduced infrastructure management, and automatic backups and updates. Azure SQL Managed Instance offers compatibility with SQL Server while removing operational burdens.
Industries: Enterprises in manufacturing, technology, and services seeking cloud transformation.
MySQL to Amazon
Aurora
From: MySQL (self-hosted or cloud-based)
To: Amazon Aurora (AWS)
Reasons: MySQL users are migrating to Amazon Aurora for its cloud-native architecture, high availability, automated backups, and scalability. Aurora offers improved performance while maintaining MySQL compatibility.
Industries: E-commerce, media, and startups that require scalable and high-performance database solutions.
AWS RDS (MySQL) to
Google Cloud SQL
From: AWS RDS (MySQL)
To: AWS RDS (MySQL)
Reasons: Many organizations seek multi-cloud strategies or prefer Google Cloud’s integrations with analytics tools like BigQuery and Dataflow. Google Cloud SQL offers similar MySQL compatibility with advanced features for analytics integration.
Industries: Data-heavy industries like media, entertainment, and tech.
MongoDB to Azure Cosmos DB
From: MongoDB (on-prem or cloud-hosted)
To: Azure Cosmos DB (NoSQL, MongoDB API)
Reasons: MongoDB users are migrating to Cosmos DB for its globally distributed database capabilities, native integration with Azure services, and the ability to scale rapidly while supporting multiple APIs, including MongoDB.
Industries: Organizations focused on real-time data, IoT, and AI/ML applications.
IBM Db2 to
Snowflake
From: IBM Db2 (on-prem)
To: Snowflake (cloud data warehouse)
Reasons: Legacy systems like IBM Db2 are being replaced by cloud-native data warehouses like Snowflake due to its ease of use, scalability, and performance in handling large-scale analytics workloads. Snowflake also offers seamless integration with various cloud ecosystems.
Industries: Financial services, healthcare, and large enterprises undergoing digital transformation.
These migrations are driven by factors such as reducing operational costs, avoiding vendor lock-in, leveraging cloud scalability, and adopting modern architectures suited to big data and real-time analytics. Cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud have developed tools and services to facilitate these migrations, offering automation, cost savings, and better integration with their ecosystems.
