Migration in flight — sound familiar?
- ▸ SEQUENCE / AUTO_INCREMENT divergence — Oracle SEQUENCE objects have no direct equivalent in MariaDB's AUTO_INCREMENT model. They have to be converted to MariaDB SEQUENCE objects or to AUTO_INCREMENT correctly. Otherwise IDs collide or wrap differently once you land on MariaDB.
- ▸ JSON column behaviour drift — MySQL's binary JSON normalizes and key-sorts objects. MariaDB's JSON is a text-based LONGTEXT alias instead. So JSON_* function behaviour and object-key ordering can differ after you land on MariaDB.
- ▸ Galera flow control mid-SST — Adding a donor for cluster-mode migration triggers flow control. Writes stall cluster-wide, and the SST itself never completes.

Seamless Database Migration
MariaDB Migration Services
In short: A MariaDB migration moves MySQL or Oracle databases to MariaDB. It can also upgrade MariaDB versions (10.x→11.x). The work runs in four phases: assessment and planning, then schema and compatibility analysis. Next comes replication-based data migration with checksum validation, then the final cutover. The approach delivers zero data loss with under five minutes of downtime.
Migrate to MariaDB with confidence. We handle switches from MySQL or Oracle, plus MariaDB version upgrades. Whichever path you take, we deliver zero data loss migrations with minimal downtime.
Migration Types We Support
We cover straightforward MySQL-to-MariaDB switches, complex Oracle migrations, and major version upgrades. Whichever of those three paths you need, we handle it end to end.

Our Migration Process
A proven four-phase methodology. It is built to execute every migration with precision and validate it thoroughly. The goal is minimal disruption at cutover.
Assessment & Planning
Comprehensive analysis of your source database, application dependencies, data volumes, and migration complexity. We deliver a detailed migration plan with timeline, risk assessment, and rollback strategy.
Schema & Compatibility Analysis
Detailed schema review, data type mapping, stored procedure conversion, and query compatibility testing. We identify and resolve every incompatibility before touching production data.
Data Migration & Validation
Replication-based data synchronization with continuous validation. Table-level checksums, row counts, and application-level integrity tests confirm zero data loss throughout the process.
Cutover & Go-Live
Coordinated switchover with less than 5 minutes downtime. Application connection redirection, final consistency verification, performance monitoring, and rollback readiness throughout.
Why Choose Our MariaDB Migration Services?
Every migration is backed by rigorous testing, transparent communication, and battle-tested tooling. That work is aimed at a smooth transition with no surprises.
Minimal Downtime (<5 Minutes)
Our replication-based migration approach keeps your source database running throughout the process. The only downtime comes during the final cutover. That is when we redirect application connections to the new MariaDB instance.
Comprehensive Compatibility Testing
We test every query, stored procedure, view, and trigger against the target MariaDB version. Automated compatibility reports highlight issues before migration begins. The point is to fix them before they can break production.
Documented Rollback Planning
Every migration includes a fully tested rollback plan. We keep your original database in sync until the migration is validated in production. That gives you a safe path back at any point during the process.
Multi-Layer Data Validation
Zero data loss is verified in four layers. We run them before, during, and after migration:
- Table-level checksums
- Row-count comparisons
- Referential integrity checks
- Application-level data validation tests
