At BayRock Labs, we understand the importance of maintaining secure and efficient operations through a centralized policy store. Our client faced challenges with performance, data consistency, and maintenance while using Cassandra. By migrating their policy store to MySQL with our strategic support and custom tools, they saw remarkable gains in performance, data integrity, and overall operational efficiency. Here's how we made it happen.
To address these challenges, the client decided to migrate the policy store’s database from Cassandra to MySQL. Key aspects of the solution included:
Optimized Database Efficiency
Achieved a 25% boost in query performance, reduced data inconsistencies by 30%, and decreased maintenance overhead by 20%.
Successful Migration
A repeatable ETL process was developed to migrate data from Cassandra to MySQL, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
No Downtime
The entire migration process was executed without any downtime or incidents, maintaining seamless service for users
Legacy API Migration
Callers to legacy APIs were migrated to new APIs, removing dependency on non-migrated tables.
By strategically migrating the centralized policy store from Cassandra to MySQL, the client achieved a significant transformation in data management and system performance. The implementation of a database-independent service layer, coupled with custom drivers and a robust ETL process, ensured a smooth migration with minimal disruption. This successful transition not only addressed the limitations of Cassandra but also positioned the organization for future scalability and flexibility, ultimately enhancing overall operational efficiency and data reliability.
