In the dynamic world of software development, the scalability of production applications often evolves over time, compelling teams to reassess their data storage solutions to keep pace with growing demands. This transition is not just about selecting a more suitable data store that aligns with the functional and non-functional requirements; it encompasses the formidable challenge of migrating substantial volumes of pre-existing production data. The imperative to execute such online migrations without causing downtime, while simultaneously handling live application traffic and ensuring the integrity of data, amplifies the complexity of this endeavor.

This session delves into the complexities of large-scale live data migrations, focusing on the journey of moving over 1 billion records across data stores with zero downtime and no data loss. This comprehensive session will explore the tools, strategic considerations, and technical dimensions that influenced a series of customized configurations, providing a blueprint for successfully migrating data in NoSQL environments.

Attendees can gain insights into effective NoSQL migration strategies and the importance of strategic planning in a migration involving complex variables in order to ensure data integrity and minimal application impact. This session is tailored for database administrators, software developers, and system architects who are looking to benefit from case studies that illustrate the challenges and solutions encountered during such migrations, offering a practical perspective on large-scale data migrations.
