US patent US12748773

Migrating from a primary datastore to a secondary datastore

Abstract

Aspects of the subject technology provide for synchronization between a first database and a second database. When a repeated command to a second database for a write operation to the second database is not performed, a forward synchronization process can update records from the first database to the second database. A reverse synchronization process can be used to further check that the synchronization is complete.
