NAVIGATING THE COMPLEXITIES OF LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION DATA MIGRATION: CHALLENGES AND BEST PRACTICES IN ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENTS
Keywords:
Data Migration, Large-Scale Codebase, Migration Strategies, Production Environment, Data Integrity, System Availability, Artificial Intelligence In Data MigrationAbstract
Large-scale data migration in production environments presents intricate challenges, particularly in large organizations with extensive codebases and complex system architectures. This paper explores the unique difficulties faced in such migrations, focusing on ensuring data integrity, maintaining system availability, and managing performance and scalability concerns. It reviews different migration strategies. Key phases of the migration process are examined. The paper emphasizes the role of automation and artificial intelligence in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of these migrations. This article addresses these challenges and provides insights into best practices for successful large-scale production data migrations.
