YugabyteDB Voyager provides a structured migration path for PostgreSQL workloads. Successful migrations still require DBA planning around compatibility, cutover and post-migration validation.
Assess and prepare
Begin with an assessment report, review PostgreSQL features that may need adjustment, and validate the converted schema before moving production data.
Move and validate data
Export and import data using the selected migration mode, then compare row counts and run application smoke tests.
Cutover
A simple cutover can involve stopping writes, completing the final synchronization, switching the application and closely monitoring the new environment.
