Cloud adoption is accelerating, but database migrations aren’t keeping pace.
The Cloud Migration Divide explores why complex, business-critical databases remain on-premises—and what’s holding organizations back as estates grow, risks increase, and confidence fails to scale with complexity.
“We didn’t want to manage multiple different data stacks on multiple clouds. That would increase both cloud operating overheads and make it harder to maintain expertise.”

Chris Chen
CTO, Goodhabitz
“Effective recommendations at every stage of the cloud migration are critical to building team confidence. Decisions come faster when teams know mistakes will highlight a fixable process - not point fingers at them.”

John Q Martin
Technology Partner & Alliances Manager, Redgate
“Lack of ownership can slow a cloud migration. Make sure all teams in the organization are clear on ownership, then the migration can move quickly and successfully.”

Pat Wright
Postgres Advocate, Redgate
“The cloud is powerful, but it won’t fix bad habits. When organizations migrate legacy databases without re-evaluating their operational practices, the cloud simply preserves those habits at scale. Modern infrastructure still requires modern thinking.”

Grant Fritchey
Advocate, Redgate
“There was no early warning. Something would spike, and then the work would start backwards to find where the problem actually was.”
Ryan Pearse
Senior System Administrator, golfbox
“AI-driven improvements in DevOps are already helping database professionals boost reliability, speed, and visibility across complex environments. And when you can manage risk proactively with real-time insight and automation, you’re in a far stronger position to take on large transformation projects — such as a cloud migration — with confidence.”
