How To Migrate Your Code From PHP 7.4 to 8.1

With the recent end-of-life for PHP 7.4, it’s time to migrate your code. Here are a few options to do that. The end-of-life (EOL) for PHP 7.4 was Monday, November 28, 2022. If you’re like me, that date snuck up much faster than anticipated. While your PHP 7.4 code isn’t going to immediately stop working, you do need to begin making plans for the future of this codebase. What are your options? You could continue to remain on PHP 7.4, but there are several benefits to updating. The biggest are security risk and support. As we move farther and farther away from the…

Migrating Your Oracle And SQL Server Databases To Google Cloud

For several decades, before the rise of cloud computing upended the way we think about databases and applications, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases were a mainstay of business application architectures. But today, as you map out your cloud journey, you’re probably reevaluating your technology choices in light of the cloud’s vast possibilities and current industry trends. In the database realm, these trends include a shift to open source technologies (especially to MySQL, PostgreSQL, and their derivatives), adoption of non-relational databases, multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud strategies, and the need to support global, always-on applications. Each application may require a different cloud…

How To Migrate From Apache HBase To Cloud Bigtable With Live Migrations

Cloud Bigtable is a natural destination for Apache HBase workloads, as it is a fully managed service that is compatible with the HBase API. As a result, many customers running business-critical applications with large-scale data and low-latency needs consider migrating to Bigtable. However, migrating from HBase to Bigtable can still be challenging since you typically have to pause your applications for migration downtime. In addition, some companies choose to write custom tools, which require extensive resources to build and test, adding months to the migration process. Today, we’re announcing that Live Migrations from Apache HBase to Cloud Bigtable are now…

Introducing Google Cloud’s Tomcat Migration Tooling

Apache Tomcat is one of the most commonly used web servers and servlet containers for running Java applications. Many enterprises run production Java web applications on Tomcat servers, running on virtual machines and are looking to modernize those applications to run in containers and enjoy the benefits of containerized, cloud native environments such as Cloud Run or Google Kubernetes Engine(GKE). While assessing and containerizing a single Java application to run in a container is possible in a manual process. Identifying, assessing and then containerizing many such applications at scale is time consuming, labor intensive and error prone. Having these obstacles increases the costs of…

Learn Why And How To Migrate Monolithic Workloads To Containers

Alongside the rise in popularity of cloud computing, there has also been an ongoing movement towards lighter and more flexible workloads. Yet, there is still a significant share of legacy applications in enterprises both large and small running in expensive and harder-to-maintain virtual machine (VM) environments. These workloads are often crucial to the enterprises’ wellbeing, but often come with heavy operational burdens and fees. What if there was an easy way to migrate these complex VMs to a more cloud-native environment, without any source code changes? In this article, I go through some important definitions, talk about the advantages of…

How To Migrate An On-Premises Data Warehouse To BigQuery On Google Cloud

Data teams across companies have continuous challenges of consolidating data, processing it and making it useful. They deal with challenges such as a mixture of multiple ETL jobs, long ETL windows capacity-bound on-premise data warehouses and ever-increasing demands from users. They also need to make sure that the downstream requirements of ML, reporting and analytics are met with the data processing. And, they need to plan for the future – how will more data be handled and how new downstream teams will be supported? Checkout how Independence Health Group is addressing their enterprise data warehouse (EDW) migration in the video…

6 Steps To Successful Mainframe Modernization

Mainframe modernization is typically viewed as a multiyear, transformational journey that requires  long planning phases and a massive buildout before any returns can be realized. To be sure, there are many enticing short-term migration options, like offloading work to cheaper processors, getting volume discounts from your mainframe provider, using hardware and middleware emulators, leveraging COBOL-to-Java code generators, slapping REST APIs on top of the mainframe systems, and outsourcing the refactoring and rewriting of code. But while these efforts are well-intentioned, they quickly get stuck in the mud because they don’t scale and as such, are unsustainable over the long term.…
