4-Phase Methodology
| Phase |
Focus |
Deliverables |
| Discovery |
Inventory, dependencies, risks |
Dependency map, risk register, success criteria |
| Planning |
Strategy, architecture, testing |
Runbook, rollback procedures, timeline |
| Execution |
Extract, transform, load |
Checkpoints, progress tracking, issue triage |
| Cutover |
Delta sync, switch, validate |
Performance baseline, UAT, decommission |
Strategy Selection
| Strategy |
When |
Example |
| Parallel Run |
24/7 critical, zero downtime |
PACS, financial platforms |
| Big Bang |
Small data, acceptable downtime |
Weekend file server |
| Phased |
Large scope, risk reduction |
Cloud by business unit |
| Trickle |
Massive datasets |
Multi-petabyte archives |
| Strangler Fig |
Monolith decomposition |
Legacy to microservices |
Migration Types
| Type |
Key Considerations |
Tools |
| Database |
Replication lag, charset, stored procs |
DMS, Striim, native replication |
| Cloud VMs |
Right-sizing, phased by tier |
CloudEndure, Azure Migrate |
| Healthcare |
DICOM, HL7/FHIR, HIPAA, 21CFR11 |
dcm4che, Mirth, HAPI FHIR |
| SaaS |
Dedup, user adoption, super-users |
BitTitan, CloudM, APIs |
| Application |
API gateway, incremental cutover |
Strangler pattern, feature flags |
Validation Framework
| Layer |
When |
Method |
| Pre |
Before |
Profiling, baseline metrics, test migration |
| In-flight |
During |
Progressive counts, checksums, error monitoring |
| Post |
After |
Full reconciliation, functional + performance tests |
| Continuous |
Ongoing |
App monitoring, user reports, audit verification |
Integrity Pattern: Compare source vs target - row counts, checksums, sample discrepancies.
Risk Management
| Category |
Mitigation |
Example |
| Data Loss |
Preventive |
Triple-backup, stage validation |
| Downtime |
Detective |
Real-time monitoring, alerts |
| Performance |
Corrective |
Rollback triggers, parallel run |
| Compliance |
Contingency |
Read-only source for audit |
Rollback Rule: Define triggers before execution (>0.1% discrepancy = immediate rollback).
Success Metrics
| KPI |
Target |
| Data completeness |
100% |
| Data accuracy |
>99.99% |
| Performance |
Within 10% baseline |
| Timeline/Budget |
<10% variance |
| User satisfaction |
>8/10 |
Execution Essentials
Pre-Migration: Inventory, risks, rollback tested, test migration passed, go/no-go defined
Post-Migration: 24-72h intensive monitoring; 1-4 weeks tuning/feedback; 1-3 months decommission
Integration & Best Practices
Agents: architecture-designer (target arch), validation-agent (integrity), regression-sentry (perf), documentation-specialist (playbooks)
Principles: Test with prod-like data | Validate continuously | Communicate proactively | Maintain rollback | Rehearse cutover | Measure with metrics
