Welcome to the fourth and final blog post in the overview series dedicated to our 12-step Migration and Modernization Methodology that was adopted by AWS. We started by defining workloads and examining their interdependencies, which set the stage for capturing the current architecture and designing the future state architecture as part of the first step […]

Welcome to the third blog post in the overview series dedicated to our 12-step Migration and Modernization Methodology that was adopted by AWS. In our first and second blog posts, we explored the critical role of defining workloads in migration projects and laid out the process of capturing the current architecture and designing the future […]

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.

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 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 […]

Our client, a global biotech company with a presence in over 80 countries and a workforce of 4,000 employees, depends on a complex IT environment that includes both on-premises and cloud-based components.

ABCloudz recently completed a significant project migrating an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) from an on-premises SQL Server 2014 to Azure Databricks for a leading global retailer operating 3,000 offline stores across 40 countries. This migration was essential for addressing physical server limitations and outdated technology that hindered data processing and storage capabilities. Embracing Big Data […]

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. How to estimate the cost of a RAG chatbot correctly? Start by separating infrastructure, model usage, embedding usage, and expected traffic, then calculate each layer on its […]

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 […]
