Founder of DBConvert (Slotix s.r.o.). Building database migration and synchronization tools since 2001, starting with Access2MySQL under DMSoft Technologies.
DuckDB
DuckDB made cross-source SQL practical. But once queries need credentials, schema inspection, exports, and repeat runs, the workflow around the query becomes the hard part.
mysql
Binlog setup is the easy part. What actually breaks MySQL CDC in production: the initial load, staying in sync during migration, and silent divergence.
data-engineering
Database tools didn’t evolve as one system. They split into IDEs for working with data and pipelines for moving it — and now every workflow lives between them.
release
DBConvert Streams 2.0 combines a free database IDE, federated SQL across databases and files, and real-time CDC — no Kafka, no tool switching, no pipeline glue.
postgresql
Why PostgreSQL tools hardcode schema names, why dynamic detection fails, and what we learned while building DBConvert Streams 2.0’s schema navigation engine.
snowflake
Timestamps from Parquet files were showing up as year 37366 in Snowflake. Here’s how we diagnosed and solved this issue in DBConvert Streams using Arrow and proper Snowflake configuration.
database migration
Compare AWS DMS and DBConvert Streams across performance, flexibility, pricing, and ease of use. Find out which tool fits your database migration and replication needs best—without vendor lock-in.
CDC
Change Data Capture (CDC) tracks modifications made to database information in real-time, ensuring data consistency across multiple systems. Unlike traditional replication methods that copy entire databases, CDC captures only incremental changes, making it more efficient and less disruptive.
deployment
Set up real-time database replication in minutes with DBConvert Streams. Combine CDC, bulk migration, and blazing-fast performance—no vendor lock-in.
dbconvert streams
A practical, no-BS guide to migrating schemas between MySQL and PostgreSQL—covering type mapping, constraints, foreign keys, comments, and all the messy real-world edge cases. Based on real migrations with DBConvert Streams.
etl
The 'T' in ETL didn't disappear — it just got better timing. Learn why cloud warehouses enabled ELT, when ETL still makes sense, and how DBConvert Streams gives you both patterns in one platform. Plus: see custom SQL transformations during migration in action.
dbconvert streams
Learn how to configure your database access properly for DBConvert Streams deployments — whether on localhost or in the cloud. This guide covers IP whitelisting, firewall rules, and server configuration.
