HexaRocket now supports MySQL to PostgreSQL database migrations (November, 2025)

We are excited to announce a major addition to HexaRocket’s migration ecosystem, full MySQL to PostgreSQL database migration support is now officially live.

With this release, teams can seamlessly migrate MySQL workloads to PostgreSQL with automated schema conversion, high-speed data movement, and CDC for continuous replication, all within the Enterprise HexaRocket platform.

This enables organizations to move to a powerful, completely open, and scalable PostgreSQL ecosystem, without the manual effort traditionally involved.

Why MySQL → PostgreSQL Migration Matters

Enterprises and product companies increasingly choose PostgreSQL for -

• 100% Community driven Open-Source software
• Performance and advanced Indexing capabilities
• Rich JSONB and Vectors support
• Advanced extensions like PostGIS, and a wide ecosystem of 200+ extensions
• Language extensions like PL/pgSQL, PL/Java, PL/TCL, PL/v8, PL/Python, PL/Rust and many other programming languages.
• Cloud-native scalability

But migrating from MySQL is often not straight-forward due to -

• Differences in datatypes
• Function, trigger, and stored procedure rewrites
• A single solution to perform schema migration, data migration and CDC
• Larger data volumes involving longer downtimes

HexaRocket eliminates these challenges with an automated, safe, and enterprise-ready pipeline.

What’s Included in HexaRocket’s MySQL → PostgreSQL Migration

1. Automated Schema Conversion for MySQL → PostgreSQL

• Intelligent mapping of MySQL datatypes to PostgreSQL equivalents
• Conversion of keys, indexes, partitions, auto-increment fields, and constraints
• Support for conversion of every object type of MySQL to PostgreSQL
• Handling of case sensitivity & reserved words
• Smart rewrite recommendations for functions, triggers, and default expressions

This ensures your PostgreSQL schema is fully optimized and compatible from day one.

2. High-Speed Bulk Data Migration

• Multi-threaded data migration support to migrate tables in parallel
• Retry logic and resume capability in the event of maintenance and failures
• Buil-in data validation upon migration
• Optimized ingestion tuned specifically for PostgreSQL

Suitable for multi-terabyte datasets with minimal downtime.

3. Optional Real-Time CDC (Change Data Capture)

HexaRocket provides a reliable CDC layer to keep MySQL and PostgreSQL in sync during cutovers -

• Binlog-based change extraction
• Consistent streaming of inserts, updates, deletes
• Transactionally ordered replication
• Adaptive batching for low-latency apply
• Guaranteed data integrity and conflict handling
• Validation of CDC upon replication of changes

This allows a true near to zero downtime migration workflows.

4. Fully Managed Through HexaRocket’s UI

• Start / Pause / Resume migration pipelines
• Table-level restarts and monitoring
• Real-time visibility into lag, throughput, and events
• Adjustable parallel workers and resource tuning
• Detailed logs, health checks, and alerts

The same simple and intuitive interface used across all HexaRocket migrations.

Who This Release Is For

This capability is ideal for:

• SaaS companies migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL
• Product teams standardizing on PostgreSQL for new features
• Organizations seeking improved performance and advanced capabilities
• Teams modernizing legacy and their existing MySQL deployments to advanced PostgreSQL stack.
• Businesses performing cloud migrations (AWS, Azure, GCP) and wanting PostgreSQL in managed PaaS offerings
• Enterprises looking for rollback-safe, low-downtime migrations

Whether it’s a single application or a complete data platform shift, HexaRocket makes MySQL → PostgreSQL migration faster, safer, and simpler.

A Major Step Toward Universal Migration Coverage

With this release, HexaRocket expands its supported migration ecosystem to include MySQL, strengthening our mission to provide a single platform for every major enterprise database.

Supported pipelines as of November 2025 include:

• Oracle → PostgreSQL (Schema, Data, CDC)
• SQL Server → PostgreSQL
• PostgreSQL → Oracle (Schema, Data, CDC)
• Oracle → Oracle (Migration + CDC)
• Oracle → Yugabyte
• MySQL → PostgreSQL (Schema, Data, CDC)
• More connectors under development

HexaRocket continues unifying schema migration, data migration, and CDC replication across diverse environments.
