SkySQL Managed Migration

Prerequisites

  1. An active SkySQL account. Identify requirements for your SkySQL implementation prior to deployment, including:

    • Topology: Enterprise Server Single node or with Replica(s)
    • Instance size
    • Storage requirements
    • Desired server version

  2. An existing source database with the IP added to your SkySQL allowlist.

Migration Steps

  1. Dump using logical or physical backup. Refer to the steps mentioned in the Backup and Restore tutorial.

  2. Upload the dump. Transfer the data dump to an S3/GCS bucket under your control.

  3. Call the migration API. Refer to the SkySQL Managed Migration Tutorial.

  4. Start Replication. To minimize downtime during migration, set up live replication from your source database to your SkySQL database. Refer to the Replicating data from external DB Tutorial.
