Summary

YugabyteDB Voyager, a new migration engine, aims to remove barriers to cloud native adoption by effortlessly migrating critical data from legacy on-premises or cloud databases to a distributed, multi-cloud data fabric powered by YugabyteDB. The tool manages the entire lifecycle of database migration, including cluster preparation, schema-migration and data-migration, and is 100% open source. It supports widely used databases for migration, including Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, AWS RDS, Aurora, Google CloudSQL, and Azure DB for PG, with a unified CLI experience across all different source databases. The engine provides auto-tunable parallelism based on workloads by analyzing the target cluster capacity and runs parallel jobs to import data, configurable and monitorable through progress bars and expected time to finish.
