SkyData delivers database migration, cloud architecture, ETL pipelines, and BI reporting for organizations worldwide — with the depth of a 20-year architect and the speed your business demands.
Unlike large MSPs, you get direct access to a certified, hands-on architect — without the overhead, hand-offs, or enterprise pricing.
Every project is led and delivered by a certified senior architect. No delegation to junior staff — the person you talk to is the person who does the work.
Triple AWS certified plus Microsoft Azure. We architect the right solution for your stack — not whatever vendor we're partnered with this quarter.
Every recommendation is tied to a business outcome — cost reduction, performance gain, or risk elimination. We measure success the way you do.
We serve organizations on every continent. Fully async-capable, timezone-flexible, with on-site availability for critical cutovers when needed.
Our migration methodology is built around parallel validation, staged cutovers, and rollback-ready architecture — so production never stops.
Weekly status reports, shared project boards, and direct Slack or Teams access. You're never wondering what's happening with your migration.
End-to-end cloud and data engineering — from first assessment to ongoing operations.
Lift-and-shift, re-platforming, or full re-architecture to AWS. We assess your environment, design the migration roadmap, and execute with zero-downtime strategies — whether you're a startup or a global enterprise migrating petabytes.
Full environment inventory, dependency mapping, and TCO analysis before we write a line of code.
Source and target run simultaneously during migration so we can verify data integrity before cutover.
Every cutover plan includes tested rollback procedures with defined trigger criteria.
All infrastructure is codified in Terraform or CloudFormation — reproducible and version-controlled.
Migrate SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL workloads to AWS RDS, Aurora, or Redshift — or to Azure SQL and Managed Instance. We handle schema conversion, data validation, cutover planning, and rollback procedures end-to-end, across any database version or size.
Automated + manual schema conversion with full compatibility testing across engine versions.
Row-count, hash, and spot-check validation at every stage to guarantee zero data loss.
Continuous data replication keeps target in sync during migration window for near-zero downtime cutover.
Query plan regression analysis and index rebuilding immediately after cutover to baseline performance.
We architect end-to-end pipelines that ingest, transform, and deliver clean data to the BI tools your stakeholders already use — Tableau, QuickSight, Power BI, and more. From real-time streaming to batch loads, we build pipelines that scale without breaking, with semantic layers and executive dashboards ready on day one.
Batch and real-time ingestion patterns designed for reliability, observability, and cost efficiency.
Full Tableau, QuickSight, or Power BI deployment including semantic layer, RLS, and executive dashboards.
Star schema, dimensional modeling, and dbt transformation layers that make BI queries fast and trustworthy.
Automated data quality checks, lineage tracking, and SLA alerting built into every pipeline.
Full-stack Azure deployment — Azure SQL, Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, and Blob Storage — with hybrid connectivity to your on-premises environment. We also handle Azure-to-AWS and AWS-to-Azure cross-cloud migrations for organizations evolving their multi-cloud strategy.
On-premises SQL Server to Azure SQL DB or Managed Instance — fully validated migrations.
Modern data warehouse implementation on Synapse for enterprise-scale analytical workloads.
ExpressRoute, VPN Gateway, and hybrid identity configuration for seamless on-prem integration.
Azure ↔ AWS migrations with dual-validation, CDC replication, and zero-downtime cutover.
Diagnose and resolve query bottlenecks, indexing gaps, blocking chains, and configuration drift across SQL Server, MySQL, Aurora, and Redshift. We tune execution plans, partition strategies, and memory configurations to maximize throughput — without simply scaling up your instances.
Execution plan review, missing index identification, and query rewrite for the worst-performing queries.
Root-cause analysis of blocking chains, deadlock graphs, and locking pattern optimization.
Memory, CPU, and I/O profiling to right-size your database instances without sacrificing performance.
Before/after benchmarks on every tuning engagement — measurable performance improvements only.
Flexible managed DBA retainers that keep your databases performant, secure, and cost-optimized after go-live — without the cost or complexity of a full-time in-house DBA. SLA-backed, globally available, and tailored to your environment.
24/7 CloudWatch dashboards with SLA-backed incident response and escalation procedures.
Scheduled maintenance windows with tested rollback plans — zero surprise downtime.
RI/Savings Plan management and continuous right-sizing — typically 20–40% spend reduction.
Cross-region backup automation, recovery testing, and documented RTO/RPO procedures.
AWS Well-Architected reviews, FinOps assessments, security posture audits, and multi-account strategy consulting. Whether you're designing a new environment or cleaning up a sprawling existing one, we give you a clear prioritized roadmap — not a 200-page report that collects dust.
Formal AWS WAF assessment across all five pillars with prioritized remediation roadmap.
Line-by-line AWS cost analysis with actionable savings recommendations and implementation support.
IAM policy audit, resource exposure review, and Security Hub / GuardDuty configuration.
Multi-account AWS Organizations structure with guardrails, SCPs, and networking baselines.
We bring cloud and data expertise tailored to the compliance, performance, and scale requirements of your industry — not generic solutions.
Fintech, banking, payments — PCI-DSS and SOC 2 aware architecture.
HIPAA-compliant cloud migrations and PHI data pipelines.
High-throughput transactional databases and analytics at peak-season scale.
Multi-tenant database architecture, RDS optimization, and DevOps integration.
FedRAMP-aware design, data sovereignty, and GovCloud migrations.
High-volume data lakes, real-time streaming, and self-service BI platforms.
A transparent, structured methodology so you know exactly where your project stands — at every stage, in every time zone.
Environment audit, dependency mapping, performance baselining, and risk identification — before a single line of migration code is written.
Target-state design, service selection, project plan with milestones, cost estimate, and rollback procedures — all approved by you before we start.
IaC provisioning, data migration via AWS DMS or Azure DMS, parallel validation, and a carefully coordinated production cutover with tested rollback.
Data integrity verification, performance benchmarking, security hardening, documentation, and knowledge transfer. We stay until you're confident.
We architect end-to-end pipelines that ingest, transform, and deliver clean data to the BI tools your team already uses. From real-time streaming to batch loads, we build pipelines that scale — with data quality and lineage built in from day one.
Our BI implementations include semantic layer design, role-level security, and executive dashboards built for non-technical stakeholders — ready at go-live, not months later.
