Postgres Migrations

I support migrations to Postgres from a variety of technologies and platforms, including:

  • On-premises to cloud (e.g., AWS RDS, Google Cloud SQL)
  • Cloud to on-premises
  • MySQL / MariaDB
  • SQLite

Depending on the source technology and platform, I can often support near zero-downtime migrations.


If your current database technology isn’t listed here, feel free to reach out — I’d be happy to assess it and provide an estimate for the migration effort.
