Modernize databases around workload fit—not product fashion.
Database modernization is a workload placement decision with consequences for compatibility, latency, availability, recovery, operations, cost, and application change.
Altivate profiles the source estate, selects a defensible target, engineers migration and cutover, and establishes the reliability and cost controls for steady-state operations.
The outcome: fewer self-managed database burdens, controlled migration risk, and a data layer matched to each application’s actual requirements.
Match the database to the workload
Cloud SQL
Use managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server for compatible applications that value familiar engines, managed operations, high availability, and straightforward integration.
AlloyDB for PostgreSQL
Evaluate AlloyDB for demanding PostgreSQL-compatible transactional and analytical workloads, including applications that need performance and vector search capabilities.
Spanner
Use Spanner when an application genuinely requires relational consistency with horizontal scale and multi-region availability—not as a default target for every database.
Database Migration Service
Plan homogeneous and selected heterogeneous migrations with continuous replication, validation, rehearsals, controlled cutover, and rollback criteria.
Datastream & data integration
Use change data capture where operational data must feed BigQuery or downstream systems while preserving source performance and clear data ownership.
Database reliability & security
Design backup, point-in-time recovery, replication, failover, maintenance, encryption, access, audit, observability, and capacity around explicit service objectives.
The target decision is evidence-led
Start with one application boundary
Profile the application, database, integrations, change rate, critical queries, recovery requirements, and acceptable cutover window together. A database cannot be modernized responsibly in isolation from its consumers.
