Overview

Why It Matters

Self-managed databases demand constant patching, tuning and licensing. We migrate and modernise them onto fully managed AWS database services, keeping data safe throughout the move and improving performance and availability afterwards.

What's Included

Service Scope

Database assessment

Review of engines, sizes, dependencies and licensing for each database.

Engine selection

Choosing the right managed relational or purpose-built database for each workload.

Schema conversion

Converting schemas and code when moving between database engines.

Data migration

Low-downtime migration with continuous replication until cutover.

Performance tuning

Optimising queries, indexing and sizing after migration.

High availability setup

Multi-AZ deployments, read replicas and backups configured from day one.
