HexaRocket now supports MariaDB to PostgreSQL database migrations (November, 2025)
We are excited to announce that HexaRocket now includes full support for MariaDB to PostgreSQL database migrations, enabling organizations to seamlessly modernize their platforms with automated schema conversion, high-speed data movement, and zero-downtime CDC replication.
With this release, HexaRocket becomes one of the few platforms that provides a complete, end-to-end migration path from MariaDB - including workloads using MariaDB-specific extensions, storage engines, and JSON features, to PostgreSQL.
Why MariaDB → PostgreSQL Migration Is Important
Organizations are increasingly choosing PostgreSQL for:
Stronger standards compliance
Advanced indexing & query optimization
JSONB, extensions, and analytics capabilities
Cloud-native ecosystem
Enterprise-grade security & scalability
But MariaDB migrations are often complex due to:
Differences in datatypes (TINYINT(1), ENUM, SET, JSON)
Inconsistencies in SQL modes and engine behaviors
MariaDB-specific features (Aria, ColumnStore, system versioning)
Trigger & function rewrite requirements
Lack of unified schema + data + CDC tooling
HexaRocket removes these challenges with a fully automated and production-ready migration platform.
