How to Migrate a Database to the Cloud With Minimal Data Loss

11/11/2026

A database move must account for writes that occur after the initial copy and before cutover.

Checks to make

Choose a replication or change-capture approach, measure lag, rehearse final synchronization, and define a write freeze or controlled transition. Validate row counts and representative records, then switch clients only when the target is consistent and rollback remains possible.
