How Astera Uses ARIA: Data Migration

Moving the data is the easy part. Planning is where data migrations go wrong. Sudais (Growth Strategist) sits down with Nabeel Farooqui (Lead Software Engineer), to talk about how Astera uses ARIA on data migration projects, and what changes when you describe the goal to an agent instead of facing a blank canvas.

Nabeel has run migrations with and without ARIA. He explains where projects usually go wrong, how ARIA handles the setup in Centerprise, how to validate the pipeline it builds, and the best practices he's learned along the way.
