Fault-tolerant algorithm for migrations from MySQL to MongoDB
When it comes to seamless data system management, our international IT client needed a solution to migrate their client’s legacy MySQL solution to a fully-managed MongoDB environment. Our team at ABCloudz was up for the challenge and delivered a fault-tolerant algorithm that ensures the migration process is reliable and user-friendly.
The need for fault-tolerance and simplicity
To achieve this, our customer required a solution that could automatically restart the migration from where it halted in case of any disruptions during the process. They also desired a solution that would allow non-technical personnel to effortlessly initiate, reinitiate, and manage data migrations. ABCloudz was chosen for our expertise in database migration and modernization, as well as our meticulous attention to detail and customer-centric approach.
Why ABCloudz?
Like many of our other customers, they were impressed by our experience. The legacy of ABCloudz includes the creation of the SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) and Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT). ABCloudz has extensive experience in seamlessly migrating legacy RDBMS to NoSQL databases, including streamlining processes for advanced configurations of NoSQL databases like MongoDB. As an AWS Advanced and Microsoft Gold Partner, ABCloudz also has certified and experienced experts in migrating to relational database services like Amazon RDS and Azure SQL. Our dedication to thoroughness, meticulous attention to detail, and customer-centric approach made a positive impression on this and many other customers. We strive for consistency in delivering solutions that offer exceptional manageability and flexibility for users.
Unparalleled RDBMS to NoSQL database migration algorithm
Our team developed a custom Python Flask daemon running on a virtual machine to split the customer’s data tables into chunks. Each chunk is converted from MySQL to the JSON format and stored on the virtual machine, allowing for faster migration and easier error recovery. The algorithm also includes a data validation script to ensure data consistency between the source and target databases. If any inconsistencies are found, the user is alerted and can manually resolve the issue before resuming the migration process.
To make the solution manageable for non-technical specialists, we included a simple-to-use Web Server Gateway interface that allows the user to select databases and run their migrations to MongoDB with just a few clicks. The interface also enables the user to control migration issues, scale migration, and launch parallel migration processes. If any issues require technical expertise, the user can easily provide all relevant information to our technical specialists.
