Every hard part of a migration, generated and verifiable.
Translation, movement, verification, recovery and operations — Morph turns each into a concrete file you can read, diff and run in your own environment. Here is exactly what the AI produces, step by step.

Analyze, quote, generate — one continuous pass
The same model that scores complexity writes the artifacts. Nothing is handed off, so the plan and the code never drift apart.
Reads the shape of the move
Morph ingests the schema and metadata you provide — engines, versions, table count, volume, constraints — and builds a per-column type map, a dependency graph and a risk register. No connection, no data sampled.
Prices it deterministically
Complexity is scored, then a fixed one-time price is computed server-side from data volume, breadth, whether it crosses engines or paradigms, and your downtime tolerance. You see the number before you pay.
Writes every artifact
Target DDL, parallel data-movement scripts, a validation & reconciliation suite, a rollback plan with explicit triggers, and an operator runbook — concrete, reviewable files, not a recommendation deck.
Not a guess — a verified type map
Engine idioms rarely map one-to-one. Morph translates each column into the target’s native types and rewrites the structures that have no equivalent.

Change-data-capture for zero-downtime cutovers
Set downtime tolerance to none and the plan adds CDC dual-write: every change on the source replays to the target while the bulk load completes. Cutover becomes a routed traffic switch, with rollback armed the entire time.
Parallel bulk copy
Tables are partitioned and copied across workers, sized to your volume so a 600M-row table doesn't serialize behind a small one.
Checksummed & resumable
Each batch carries a checksum; an interrupted load resumes from the last verified offset instead of starting over.
Transform in flight
Column splits, unit conversions and encoding fixes are applied during movement — no second pass over terabytes.

Morph generates a suite you run against both databases and diff. Every probe is designed to return nothing — any output is a discrepancy to resolve before cutover.
A way back, and a way through
Rollback plan
Explicit trigger conditions — not vibes. The plan names the exact metrics that abort a cutover and the precise sequence to restore the source as system of record.
- Named abort triggers (lag, error rate, checksum drift)
- Source kept live & in-sync on the CDC path
- Step-reversible: every action has its inverse
- Rehearsable in staging before the real window
Operator runbook
A timestamped playbook any engineer on the team can execute. Four phases, each with checks that gate the next.
- 1Pre-flight — backups verified, target reachable, CDC primed
- 2Execute — bulk load → catch-up → parity checks
- 3Cutover — freeze, final reconcile, route traffic
- 4Post-cutover — smoke tests, monitor window, decommission
An expert that already read your migration
Every project ships with a chat that has full context on your schema, type map, scripts and runbook. Ask why a column became JSONB, request a tweak to a batch size, or pressure-test the cutover — without re-explaining anything.
A 40-table Postgres → MongoDB cutover, planned and scripted in 31 hours instead of three weeks.
