Summary

This webinar series aims to provide a comprehensive approach to cloud data migration, focusing on strategic decisions, challenges, and best practices. A good cloud data migration involves prioritizing workload types, identifying dependencies, and assessing the shape of data models. The process requires elasticity, automation, and careful planning to minimize risk. Assessment of workload is crucial, considering data shapes, types, and models used. Migration can be done in a partial fashion using a pattern that has been successful with customers, replicating only the analytical workload first. Automation tools play a significant role in the migration process, but manual work may still be required for stored procedures and procedural languages. The webinar also discusses database migration best practices, including managing SingleStore in various environments, and provides insights into customer experiences with migrating from Oracle and other databases to SingleStore.
