  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • The conversion of my Spring Boot RESTful service did not involve much work. In fact, I was able to leverage the approach I used for a previous project of mine.

  • nmig

    NMIG is a database migration tool, written in Node.js and highly inspired by FromMySqlToPostgreSql.

  • Initially, I started down the pgloader path, which seemed to be a common approach for the database conversion. However, using my M1-chip MacBook Pro led to some unexpected issues. Instead, I opted to use NMIG to convert MySQL to PostgreSQL. For more information, please check out the “Highlights From the Database Conversion” section below.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • pgadmin4

    pgAdmin is the most popular and feature rich Open Source administration and development platform for PostgreSQL, the most advanced Open Source database in the world.

  • Rather than go through the hassle of creating a signed URL in AWS, I just used the pgAdmin client to import the backup into a newly created Postgres instance on Heroku.

  • pgloader

    Migrate to PostgreSQL in a single command!

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
