Enterprise data migrations
Moving catalogues, customers and relationships between platforms, with a dry run first.
The problem
A migration only runs well once. Discovering halfway through that there were duplicates or badly resolved relationships makes undoing it on a production system far more expensive than checking beforehand.
The solution
Purpose-built tooling that simulates first: it walks the data, shows exactly which records would be affected, detects duplicates and conflicts, and only then runs the real migration. The intermediate step is usually a spreadsheet the person who knows the business can review.
What it includes
- Migration of products, categories, customers and addresses
- Sources from Excel, CSV, APIs or other databases
- Duplicate and conflict detection before anything is written
- Mappings to external platform identifiers
- Post-migration checks to verify the outcome
- SQL analysis and diagnostic queries on PostgreSQL
Outcome
Migrations executed with problems found and resolved during the dry run, rather than on data already written to production.
