Case Study: Leading Financial Technology Company achieves improved scalability, availability, performance, and cost savings with Datavail's migration to AWS RDS for MariaDB

Financial Technology Company Improves Database Scalability, Flexibility, Cost, and Availability with AWS RDS for MariaDB Migration

Leading Financial Technology Company, a provider of bank operating systems, needed to move mission‑critical MariaDB databases (several TBs) off Rackspace to AWS RDS for MariaDB to reduce operational costs, gain rapid scalability, and improve availability. Facing a complex environment, schema limitations, and limited in‑house cloud migration skills, they engaged Datavail to lead the migration.

Datavail performed a detailed health assessment, gap analysis, migration roadmap and proofs of concept, supplemented the client’s DBAs with MariaDB specialists, and executed phased migrations using AWS Database Migration Service and native MariaDB replication while upgrading to MariaDB 10.3.x. As a result, Datavail delivered improved high availability and scalability, faster query response and overall performance, greater on‑demand agility, and significant cost savings after the move to AWS RDS for MariaDB.
