How We Migrated 15 Years of Data
When Ironsmith needed to modernize, we faced the challenge of migrating 15 years of business-critical data from a legacy Microsoft Access system to a modern PostgreSQL database. Here's how we did it:
- Extracted and cleaned hundreds of thousands of records from Access.
- Rebuilt broken relationships and validated data integrity.
- Automated the migration pipeline for a seamless transition to AWS-hosted PostgreSQL.
The result? Zero downtime, no data loss, and a future-proof system ready for growth.
