Many companies are accelerating their migration of critical databases to the cloud as the advantages increasingly outweigh the associated risks. A recent IDC study shows that 63% of companies are currently migrating databases to the cloud, with another 29% considering it within the next three years. This shift is driven by the need for increased access to innovation, improved security, and scalability to accommodate remote work environments. Legacy databases, while stable, are often too slow for modern digital business needs and are vulnerable to security threats. Cloud providers offer advanced AI services and automated security processes that most companies cannot implement internally. Moreover, the flexibility of cloud infrastructure allows businesses to scale efficiently without significant investments in their own data centers. The growing maturity of cloud migration options and the ability to utilize multiple cloud platforms further reduce the risk of vendor lock-in, making the transition more appealing. As a result, a recent survey from EDB indicates that 92% of companies are satisfied with their cloud migration efforts.
