Welcome to the second blog post in the overview series dedicated to our 12-step Migration and Modernization Methodology that was adopted by AWS. In the first blog post, we began exploring the first step of the methodology — Future State Architecture Design.We focused on the definition of a workload and outlined how categorizing system components […]

Welcome to the first blog post in the overview series dedicated to our 12-step Migration and Modernization Methodology that was adopted by AWS. In any migration or modernization project, it’s crucial to start with a clear understanding of the system’s components and their relationships. This is where workload definition comes into play. Defining workloads correctly […]

ABCloudz recently helped The Morning Star Company, one of the world’s largest producers of tomato products, migrate their Oracle database to SQL Server. The Morning Star Company operates three processing facilities in California, handling nearly 10% of the global tomato production. Their IT infrastructure included both Oracle and SQL Server databases, but due to the […]

Migrating Oracle databases to PostgreSQL or MySQL with AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) can present a range of challenges, from unsupported data types to limitations in automated code conversion and potential performance issues. AWS SCT offers powerful capabilities to automate these migrations, but it may not always deliver optimal results or handle complex Oracle […]

Migrating databases from Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server can be a complex endeavor, especially when it comes to dealing with differences in schema structures, data types, and specific SQL clauses. The SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a robust tool designed to automate these migrations and minimize manual effort. However, SSMA might not always produce […]

When migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL, one of the most important differences to consider is the treatment of null and empty string values. In Oracle, null and empty string are treated as the same entity, but in PostgreSQL, they are distinct. Failing to account for this distinction during migration can lead to logical errors and […]

When working with PostgreSQL, database developers may encounter a limitation when attempting to create routines with more than 100 arguments. PostgreSQL enforces this restriction by setting FUNC_MAX_ARGS to 100 during the server build. Although this limitation is rarely an issue, complex procedures, particularly those migrated from Oracle, may have a significantly higher number of arguments. […]

Migrating databases from Oracle to SQL Server can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with date and time data. While tools like the SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) offer automated solutions, relying solely on these tools might not always yield the best performance. In this blog, we share examples of how to optimize conversion […]

The AWS SCT Extension Pack is designed to emulate Oracle’s system functions, procedures, and other database objects within PostgreSQL. This emulation is achieved by creating a special schema in PostgreSQL, named aws_oracle_ext, where these functions and objects are stored. This pack simplifies migration by replacing Oracle-specific calls with their PostgreSQL equivalents, ensuring that the code […]

Imagine a business analyst whose task is to extract necessary information from a data warehouse to generate various reports. They need to be proficient in crafting SQL queries of any complexity—a challenging and time-consuming feat that requires deep understanding of database structures and SQL language. But what if this business analyst had an AI assistant […]

Picture this: You have an AI-powered assistant that helps manage your team’s growth. It works with three types of text data: job descriptions, employee skills, and training programs. You give it a job description and an employee’s skill set, and it pinpoints the perfect training programs to bridge any skill gaps. It’s like having a […]

This blog post examines the operational expenses of the AI-powered chatbot solution introduced in our previous blog posts, Custom AI chatbot using RAG and Deployment of AI-Powered Chatbot. This solution operates on the AWS cloud while integrating OpenAI’s language model. We will discuss the financial aspects of infrastructure costs and analyze how to estimate expenses […]

This blog post focuses on the architecture and deployment of the AI-powered Chatbot solution that we described in our earlier blog post Custom AI Chatbot Development Using RAG. This solution is built for the AWS cloud but uses OpenAI as an LLM. We’ll dive deep into the CI/CD process and AWS deployment architecture of the […]

You have probably seen and heard about AI-powered chatbots that can converse with the user about website content, or some piece of knowledge related to a company. The world is full of buzz on all things AI, with chatbots driving the headlines. In this article, we’ll share our experience building a full-blown solution from scratch […]
