Migrating data to the cloud presents numerous challenges, often revealing unexpected complexities, such as the significant differences between Oracle's and Snowflake's SQL, which complicate the process far beyond simple script writing. The tooling landscape for cloud data migration is crowded and confusing, as many tools offer similar-sounding features but differ in functionality, often requiring manual intervention and lacking proper documentation. Additionally, the market is heavily influenced by enterprise-focused providers, making useful information scarce and the search for effective tools difficult due to a pay-to-play environment. The goal is to simplify this process by offering guidance on the most useful tools for successful data migration.
