Migrating Critical User Data

At Kilterset we know change is scary. One big change we’ve become familiar with is user migrations from an existing, often hand-built Identity Provider (IdP) to a cloud solution such as Auth0. In fact, for various reasons we’ve hand-built IdPs to accommodate client needs. This means we understand reasons for building an IdP, we understand reasons for selecting an option like Auth0, and we’re practiced in helping our clients make the scary leap from custom to cloud. With all of this experience we can do the same for your business.

Experience Matters

In many cases businesses are reliant on the concept of identity. It’s an easily overlooked, foundational concept which has the potential to carry a tremendous amount of business value. If during a migration this core customer data were to be lost it could be catastrophic. This is why efficient user migrations are pivotal for ensuring the preservation of data integrity, sustaining customer trust, as well as preventing outages during the process. In all cases, migrating data, especially user accounts, demands meticulous planning and execution in order to prevent disruptions in services and maintain user satisfaction. For all of these reasons it is critical that this process is approached from a lens of experience.

Controlled Migration

Mitigating risk is the name of the game when migrating users from one platform to another. This is made all the more important when dealing with active users in live production environments. To achieve a high level of control Kilterset recommends a throttled approach combined with observability and proper monitoring. Managed in such a way, your business can avoid performance bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and uphold service quality by ensuring a smooth transition, safeguarding both user experience and business continuity.
