Solution · Modernization # Migrate to cloud without a long cutover Move large operational datasets with parallel snapshots, then keep source and cloud targets aligned with CDC until your applications are ready to switch. [Explore cloud migration](#how-it-works) [Talk to our team](/contacts/?topic=data-architecture) 1. 01 Parallelize the initial snapshot 2. 02 Apply changes continuously 3. 03 Validate, switch, and retain control The challenge ## The copy is only the beginning A migration must move historical volume quickly while continuing to capture every live change made during validation and cutover. 01 / Volume ### Initial loads overrun the window Sequential table copies struggle with large estates and put an unpredictable deadline on migration rehearsals. 02 / Change ### Production keeps moving Rows continue to change while the baseline is copied, creating drift between source and destination. 03 / Cutover ### Big-bang switches increase risk Without a synchronized target, validation, rollback planning, and application cutover become tightly coupled. How it works ## Load once, synchronize until cutover Gluesync combines snapshot acceleration and continuous CDC so teams can rehearse, validate, and switch on their schedule. 1. 01 Baseline ### Parallelize the initial snapshot Split large tables into logical ranges and tune target concurrency to accelerate the first complete copy. 2. 02 Catch up ### Apply changes continuously Capture transactions made during the snapshot and keep the cloud target current throughout testing. 3. 03 Cut over ### Validate, switch, and retain control Monitor entity progress, coordinate the final handoff, and keep migration logic inside reusable pipelines. Gluesync capabilities ## Migration mechanics without custom glue code Tune movement at the table, pipeline, and destination level while keeping deployment under your control. 01 ### Accelerated snapshots Parallelize large source reads and match target write concurrency to the capacity of each environment. - Logical partitioning - Per-entity concurrency - Snapshot history and controls [Logical partitioning](https://docs.molo17.com/gluesync/latest/core-hub/logical-partitioning.html) 02 ### Native bulk ingestion Stage batches in the format and loading mechanism best suited to the target platform. - Snowflake COPY INTO - BigQuery load jobs - SQL Server bulk copy [Bulk load](https://docs.molo17.com/gluesync/latest/core-hub/bulk-load.html) 03 ### Hybrid deployment Place agents close to source and target systems while Core Hub coordinates pipelines across network boundaries. - On-premises and cloud agents - Encrypted node communication - Portable pipeline configuration [Architecture](https://docs.molo17.com/gluesync/latest/introduction/architecture.html) Related solutions ## Continue exploring Gluesync use cases [ Solution · Real-time integration ### CDC Streaming Capture committed database changes from transaction logs and deliver them continuously to databases, event streams, and data platforms—without polling full tables.
