**Database Migration and Replication**: Database migration services like AWS DMS, Oracle GoldenGate, and Google Cloud Datastream replicate transactional data between heterogeneous database engines with change data capture and minimal downtime cutover. - **Schema Migration and Versioning**: Tooling like dbt, Liquibase, and Flyway version, diff, and apply schema and transformation changes through migration files checked into source control alongside application code. - **ETL and Data Movement**: Platforms like Airbyte, Fivetran, Hotglue, and Stitch extract data from SaaS sources, APIs, and databases and load it into warehouses and lakes with managed connectors and incremental sync. - **Change Data Capture**: Tools like Debezium and Kafka Connect stream row-level database changes as events, enabling near-real-time replication, audit trails, and downstream system synchronization during long-running migrations. - **Assessment and Discovery**: Migration assessment tools inventory existing servers, applications, dependencies, and licenses to plan target architecture, sizing, and migration waves before cutover begins. - **Cutover Planning and Rollback**: Migration platforms coordinate rehearsals, dependency ordering, cutover windows, validation gates, and rollback procedures to reduce blast radius during go-live. - **API and Code Migration**: SDK and API migration tooling like Liblab and OpenRewrite regenerate client libraries and rewrite consumer code when APIs change versions, providers, or specification standards. ## Use Cases - **Data Center to Cloud Lift and Shift**: Enterprises use AWS Application Migration Service, Azure Migrate, or Google Cloud Migration Center to inventory on-premise workloads and replicate them to the cloud with minimal application changes. - **Heterogeneous Database Migration**: Teams use AWS DMS or Oracle GoldenGate to migrate from legacy commercial databases like Oracle and SQL Server to open-source or cloud-native engines such as Postgres, Aurora, or BigQuery. - **SaaS Data Onboarding**: Data teams use Airbyte, Fivetran, or Stitch to backfill historical data from SaaS sources like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Stripe into a warehouse and keep it incrementally in sync. - **Real-Time Replication and CDC**: Engineering teams stand up Debezium and Kafka Connect to stream change data capture events from operational databases into analytical systems, search indexes, and microservices. - **Cross-Tenant SaaS Migration**: IT teams migrate mailboxes, files, and identities between Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Slack tenants during mergers, acquisitions, or restructurings using dedicated tenant migration tooling. - **Schema Evolution at Deploy Time**: Application teams version SQL migrations alongside code using tools like dbt, Liquibase, and Flyway so that schema changes deploy and roll back atomically with releases. - **API Version Cutover**: API providers use migration tooling and codegen platforms like Liblab to help consumers move between major versions of an API with regenerated SDKs and rewritten call sites. ## Related Areas -
