Hard-won lessons, real-world stories, and candid insights from executing hundreds of data migrations.
Welcome back to From the Migration Trenches, the series where we break down the real, behind-the-scenes work of moving data. We share the hard deadlines, the technical roadblocks, and the exact steps we take to get the job done.
Are you struggling to migrate candidate tags from Recruitee to Manatal because of missing public API endpoints? This technical guide breaks down how to solve this exact data migration challenge by reverse-engineering the target platform's internal frontend API.
If you are migrating Microsoft Dynamics 365 from on-premise to the cloud, standard tools like SSIS and KingswaySoft often cause project-stalling bottlenecks. This technical guide details how to replace slow, UI-bound SSIS packages with self-contained, JSONata-powered binaries. By leveraging declarative YAML mappings and automation , engineering teams can bypass workflow fatigue, execute complex data merges, and reduce debugging cycles from four hours to just twenty minutes.
Standard UI plugins often fail Magento-to-Wix migrations because of the architectural mismatch between Magento’s EAV model and Wix’s document-style API. To prevent broken links, lost customer history, and 404 errors, businesses should use a custom ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) approach. This method ensures data integrity by directly querying the MySQL database, handling password hashing incompatibilities, and implementing programmatic link rewriting to save organic search traffic.
