Modernizing Healthcare Services: How Alcidion Improved Stability and Performance with AlloyDB

Alcidion operates the Miya Precision platform, which provides timely information to healthcare professionals. Recently, the company pursued modernization by transitioning this platform's architecture from its existing Microsoft SQL Server environment to Google Cloud's AlloyDB for PostgreSQL.

The existing environment had the following technical challenges:

• Operational overhead: Required manual load balancing and storage management
• Performance delays: Processing complex JSON data took up to 30 minutes
• Stability issues: Monthly connection issues and maintenance outages

The migration, which leveraged Database Migration Service (DMS), proceeded very efficiently. Using a custom synchronization tool, the actual cutover time was reduced to just 15 minutes, and the entire migration process was completed within a month.

As a result of the transition, data processing performance improved dramatically:

• Data processing speed: Tasks that previously took 30 minutes were reduced to around 5-60 seconds through AlloyDB, BigQuery, and Dataflow
• Improved stability: Connection issues and maintenance outages that previously required manual intervention were resolved
