This article discusses the challenges of database migrations and how Cockroach Labs addressed them by building a tool called MOLT Fetch, which simplifies data migrations to CockroachDB. The tool was designed to provide easier configuration and better observability, debuggability, and compatibility with CockroachDB compared to existing third-party migration tools. MOLT Fetch allows users to bulk export and stream data from the source database to the target CockroachDB database, making it a repeatable and flexible solution for large-scale migrations. The tool prioritizes easing the pain of a migration journey by providing features such as auto schema creation, parallelism, continuation tokens, and exception logs. MOLT Fetch is designed to be easy to use, with sane defaults that make it manageable for users, even when they only need to test a simple data load.
