Episode 112 — Database Migrations — Relational and Non-Relational Models

This episode examines database migration strategies for both relational and non-relational systems. Relational database migrations require schema transfer, data validation, and potentially complex query rewrites if moving between engines. Non-relational migrations focus on maintaining document, key-value, or graph structures while ensuring application compatibility. We also explore options like online versus offline migrations and replication-based cutovers to reduce downtime.

We also highlight migration planning steps such as dependency mapping, performance testing, and security considerations for data in transit. On the Cloud+ exam, understanding these differences will help you identify the right approach for specific workloads and architectures.
