Database Modernization & Migrations

Automated where it can be.
Hands-on where it must be.
Support after go-live.

Legacy and proprietary databases have a funny way of turning routine renewals into leverage. Percona figures out your real exit path, migrates your databases to open source, and stays through cutover so production doesn't wobble the day after.

MODERNIZATION AND MIGRATION

ONE PATH.
THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH.

Most migrations fall apart in the handoff. One team scopes it, another builds it, a third one shows up after something breaks.

Percona runs assessment, migration, and cutover as one engagement, then sticks around for Expert Support once you're live. Assessment determines how much of the migration can be automated, and which parts require experts to manually migrate.

01 - ASSESS

NO GUESSING GAMES

Most migrations fall apart in the handoff. One team scopes it, another builds it, a third one shows up after something breaks.

02 - MIGRATE

THE EXECUTION WORK, HANDLED.

Schema migration, code conversion, live replication, app-layer changes, validation. All the parts nobody wants to do by hand.

03 - CUTOVER

CUTOVER. VERIFIED BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENS.

Near-zero downtime where your setup allows it. Validated before go-live, not discovered after.

04 - SUPPORT

WE DON'T VANISH AFTER GO-LIVE.

Hypercare right after cutover. Training so your team can run it. Then 24×7 Expert Support, for as long as you need us.

HOW THIS GETS DELIVERED

PACE IS THE PROCESS. PERCONA IS WHO'S ACCOUNTABLE.

PACE (Percona Assisted Cutover Engine) is what we call the process behind moving Oracle, SQL Server, and other proprietary estates to open source without the usual vendor circus.

Under one contract with Percona, the Percona and HexaCluster partnership brings migration expertise specific to proprietary platforms so customers have vast freedom of choice on the destination.

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY SIGNING UP FOR.

  • Assessment tells you what's feasible, what tooling can't automate, and what the whole thing actually costs. Decide based on that. Not a vendor's optimistic estimate.

THE HANDOFF IS WHERE MIGRATIONS GO WRONG. SKIP IT.

  • No juggling a migration vendor, a support vendor, and whoever built the thing in between. One Percona engagement runs assessment through go-live, then keeps going.

NO PREFERRED DATABASE. JUST THE ONE THAT FITS.

  • Moving from Oracle to PostgreSQL is the common path. MySQL, MariaDB, and MongoDB® are all in scope too, when you'd rather land there.

GO-LIVE IS NOT THE FINISH LINE.

  • The days right after go-live are when things actually break. Hypercare covers that. 24×7 Expert Support covers everything after.

WHO IT'S FOR

The actual scope depends on the source/target engines, data volume, and cutover complexity, and is refined during the planning phase. Applicable across MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB®, and Valkey/Redis, whether self-managed, cloud, or DBaaS.

OUTCOME

A migration executed against a tested plan with a documented rollback path, not a maintenance window you're hoping goes smoothly. You'll know the cutover works before you schedule it, because we tested it in a representative environment first.

WITH PERCONA

One Engagement. One Contract.

ASSESS

Assess you databases and what is feasible.

MIGRATE

A tested migration process with a documented rollback plan.

Cutover

Scheduled cutover with off-hours support and emergency rollback assistance.

24x7 SUPPORT

FAQ’s

Real Answers. No Corporate Doublespeak.

Percona's methodology for moving proprietary workloads to open source without the vendor circus.

How much can be automated, where manual work is needed, and project timelines.

Mostly PostgreSQL. MySQL, MariaDB, and MongoDB too, if assessment says that's the right call.

As close to zero as your setup allows. We confirm the real number during planning, not before.
