Re-inventing the wheel with data migration
- Website design
- User flows development
- Web app design
This project aimed to simplify the migration process, remove the limitations of traditional databases, and improve overall data management performance and scalability for companies.
I collaborated with the development team to fully understand the technology, then designed a seamless flow for the migration process. From there, I created user-friendly interfaces to guide the entire migration experience.
- Figma
Imagine a big sales company that started in the early 2000s and has grown a huge amount of transactions data over the years. These transaction records have grown to over 10 Petabytes of data and are hosted on an on-premise database like Oracle. When a sales transaction is needed, it can take 2-3 days to be generated and cases like power outages and disaster recovery processes take a long while to complete which makes customers constantly lose confidence in the company. Other issues with on-premise databases are:
- Database maintenance
- Scalability
- Infrastructure cost
- Database administration know-how
One of the obvious solutions is to switch sales transactions from being hosted on an on-premise database like Oracle to a cloud data warehouse where database records can be easily generated. Advantages of cloud storage include :
- speed and performance
- Easy to scale up and down
- Unlimited concurrency
- Zero management data warehouse as a service.
- Easy integration with Business Intelligence (BI) tools.
The goal of this project was to design an interface that helped companies transpose their database hosted on-premise platforms like Oracle, to Cloud storage.
