Database Modernization
Migrating legacy database engines to high-performance cloud databases, NOSQL stores and distributed data platforms.
Solution overview
What database modernization addresses
Database Modernization transforms aging, costly relational databases into high-performance cloud database platforms. We help enterprises eliminate high database licensing fees, scaling limits and maintenance overhead.
We migrate legacy databases (Oracle, SQL Server) to open-source and cloud-native engines (PostgreSQL, Amazon Aurora, MongoDB, DynamoDB).
Our database modernization solutions reduce database licensing costs, improve query performance and support massive data scaling.
During the database modernization engagement, our specialists work closely with your technical leads to establish tailored operational workflows, automated validation controls and clear deliverables for legacy to cloud database migration and relational to nosql schema transformation. From initial database estate & schema audit through to target database & schema mapping blueprint, we embed continuous telemetry monitoring, structured documentation and risk mitigation rules tailored specifically for your organization's database modernization goals and sql query profiling & performance tuning requirements.
What is included
What the solution covers
Legacy to Cloud Database Migration
Migrating legacy commercial databases (Oracle, SQL Server) to cloud-native managed engines (Aurora PostgreSQL).
Relational to NoSQL Schema Transformation
Refactoring unstructured or high-velocity data models onto scalable NoSQL datastores (MongoDB, DynamoDB).
SQL Query Profiling & Performance Tuning
Profiling slow SQL queries, optimizing index structures, partitioning large tables and tuning execution plans.
Database Read-Replica & Caching Setup
Deploying database read-replicas and in-memory Redis caching layers to offload heavy read traffic.

Migrating from proprietary databases (Oracle/SQL Server) to open-source cloud engines (PostgreSQL/Aurora) routinely reduces database licensing costs by up to 80%.
We use schema conversion tools combined with expert database engineering to refactor proprietary stored procedures into standard SQL or application microservice code.
