Case background and challenges

     One of the biggest obstacles faced by enterprises pursuing digital transformation is the challenge of migrating from traditional databases. These databases are usually locked in on-premises data centers, which are costly to upgrade and difficult to maintain.

 We hope to make the migration easier, migrate the Oracle database to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, and complete this operation with minimal downtime and friction.

 

Scheme description

1. Google Cloud SQL is secure and reliable, encrypting data at rest and in transit. It connects to a Virtual Private Cloud through a dedicated connection and provides a firewall – protected and user – controlled network access channel.
2. Google Cloud SQL auto – scaling automatically expands the storage capacity when approaching the limit.
3. Google Cloud SQL automatically backs up, automatically performing daily backups and binary log recording.
4. Use Google’s open-source toolkit based on Datastream to migrate data securely, efficiently, and quickly, reducing downtime.
