How to Migrate Cloud Storage with Zero Downtime — Switch Providers Without Disrupting Your Team
· 3 min read
"We're moving to a new cloud platform. Nobody can access files until migration is complete." That's the nightmare scenario. Here's how to avoid it with incremental syncs and parallel access.
Cloud migrations fail when they're treated as big-bang events — turn off the old system, transfer everything, turn on the new system. During the transfer (which can take days for large datasets), nobody can work. The better approach: run both systems in parallel, sync incrementally, and cut over seamlessly.
