FAQ
Database consolidation refers to the process of combining multiple databases into a single, unified system. This involves taking data from various sources within an organization, cleaning it, and integrating it into one location. By consolidating databases, it simplifies data infrastructure, reduces complexity, and helps manage technical debt. CrateDB helps streamline your infrastructure and reduces the need for multiple databases, overcoming the challenges of growing complexity and technical debt.
Consolidating databases maintains a single source of truth updated in real-time, eliminating the need for multiple databases per use case and ensuring data consistency. It streamlines infrastructure management and reduces server count, software licenses, and operational complexities, leading to cost savings. CrateDB supports this by providing a unified system that natively supports multiple data types, thus reducing the requirement for multiple databases catering to distinct use cases.
ClearVoice, a content creation agency, streamlined its backend by switching from MySQL to CrateDB. This transition made scaling easier and significantly improved performance. Their aggregate query times were reduced from 20 minutes to milliseconds after the migration. Read more >
Combining data sources can be achieved manually by copying and inserting data from various sources into a new destination. For more structured and scalable approaches, data blending and the ETL (extract, transform, load) process are commonly used. ETL involves copying data from different sources, standardizing it, and loading it into a unified database. CrateDB simplifies this process by seamlessly integrating various data types and sources without the need for manual synchronization, ensuring efficient data consolidation and management within a single environment.
