Vettabase and HammerDB are announcing a partnership to de-risk and assist database migrations. As vendor-independent companies that offer services for multiple database technologies, Vettabase and HammerDB intend to help organisations in the delicate move of changing their database systems.
For many teams, a migration to another database is a logical option — but it comes with real concerns:
- How to avoid production incidents;
- How to avoid regressions in performance or scalability;
- How to validate that the new system meets or exceeds existing workloads;
- How to plan and execute the migration without disrupting production;
- To which extent existing skills and tooling can be adapted to the new technology.
Our partnership is designed specifically to address these challenges.
A database migration is a complex, delicate process. We can assist clients in all the stages of this process, including:
- Identify the best technology for a specific workload;
- Testing and benchmarking a specific workload with the designed technology;
- Assessing the risks;
- Setting up staging and production environments;
- Performance tuning, configuration and schema optimisation;
- Training for Database Administrators and Developers;
- Post-deployment 24/7 support.
A special case: migrating from MySQL
Organizations that rely on MySQL are increasingly facing a difficult question: how to ensure long-term stability as MySQL development slows down. Recent MySQL developments have led to uncertainty about its long-term direction.
Vettabase and HammerDB’s role, in this scenario, is simple: enable companies to move from MySQL safely, predictably, and without performance surprises. We will help companies to identify the best database technology. As vendor-independent service providers, we don’t have bias dictated by commercial interests. MariaDB is often the natural choice because of its high level of compatibility with MySQL, but we are open to evaluate PostgreSQL, and potentially other solutions.
Vettabase brings deep, hands-on experience in MariaDB, MySQL and PostgreSQL critical setups, as well as its 24/7 support, disaster recovery planning, performance tuning, and targeted DBA training.
HammerDB provides objective performance validation throughout the process. By applying repeatable, industry-standard workloads before and after migration, and during the optimisation stage, HammerDB helps ensure that performance characteristics are understood, measurable, and preserved — or improved.
This collaboration builds on Vettabase and HammerDB’s established role in the MariaDB ecosystem, and we’d like to highlight HammerDB’s work with the MariaDB Foundation to identify and resolve significant performance bottlenecks. Together, Vettabase and HammerDB offer a migration approach grounded in evidence rather than assumptions.
The partnership is aimed at organizations that depend on MySQL today but need a database platform with an actively maintained core, a clear future, and transparent governance — without accepting migration risk as a necessary cost.
