Migrating to Workspaces

1

Create an inventory of all objects, databases, tables, records, functions, stored procedures, views, aggregations, pipelines, database variables, etc. in your current production environment that need to be migrated.

✔

✔

2

Calculate the size required to store all the existing objects and data. Refer to SingleStore Helios Sizing Guidelines.

✔

✔

3

Create test plans for the following:

Connectivity

• Upstream / downstream dataflows

• Application

• End-user

Functionality

• Data accuracy

• Custom objects

• Jobs

• Permissions

Performance

• Ingest

• Query

• Skew

Rollback

✔

4

Create the workspace in the Cloud Portal

Refer to Creating and Using Workspaces.

Ensure there are enough credits to create an appropriately sized workspace.

✔

✔

5

Generate SQL statements that can be executed to reproduce all the required objects. Use a third-party tool such as mysqldump.

Refer to Migrating Data with mysqldump.

✔

6

Create the objects in SingleStore Helios. Use the .sql dump file created in Step 5.

Copy and paste the contents of this dump file into the SingleStore Helios SQL Editor and run the SQL statements to recreate all objects in the workspace.

Note: Studio does not work in workspaces. You can use the Cloud Portal or third-party tools.

✔

7

Back up all of your databases. Use the  BACKUP DATABASE command to back up the data in production, or take a backup from daily backups.

For non-SingleStore databases, refer to Migrating Data from Another Database.

✔

✔

8

Restore the backed-up data to the workspace. Use the RESTORE DATABASE command to restore the database backups from the cloud object store into the workspace. 

Note: If you are moving from SingleStore Self-Managed to SingleStore Helios workspaces, first copy the backup to the proper cloud service, then restore.

For non-SingleStore databases, refer to Migrating Data from Another Database.

✔

✔

9

Validate inventory and objects in SingleStore Helios. Confirm that everything exists in the workspace environment. This should include everything gathered in Step 1.

✔

✔

10

Add users, groups, roles, permissions, resource governor pools, database variables, and global system variables settings by raising a Support ticket.

✔

✔

11

Set the firewall rules for the new workspace. Refer to IP Address Allowlisting.

✔

✔

12

Select the endpoint URL. The workspace will have a different endpoint URL than the prior workspace. Only DML endpoints are currently offered. The DDL can be provided if some operations require it. Refer to SingleStore Helios Endpoints.

✔

✔

13

Perform application-level validation testing. Connect your application and run benchmark queries.
