Database Migration (MongoDB to PostgreSQL) for Appsmith
Worked on the complex migration of Appsmith’s database from MongoDB to PostgreSQL, significantly improving operational efficiency by reducing new customer onboarding time from 3-6 months to just 1 week. This migration also addressed crucial compliance issues, ensuring smoother operations.
Key challenges and solutions:
Schema and Data Type Compatibility: Resolved inconsistencies between MongoDB’s dynamic schema and PostgreSQL’s relational schema, ensuring data integrity and compatibility throughout the migration process.
Migration for Self-Hosted Users: Developed a strategy to handle the migration of self-hosted users, ensuring a seamless transition with minimal disruption to their workflows.
Rollout Plan & Support Timeline: Defined a clear rollout plan for customers and developers, determining until when the old MongoDB version would be supported and outlining the steps for a gradual phase-out.
Onboarding Developers: Created comprehensive onboarding processes to get developers actively working on the PostgreSQL branch, facilitating smoother transitions in development workflows.
Deployment Strategy: Devised a deployment strategy to support active development on both MongoDB and PostgreSQL branches until the MongoDB version is fully phased out.
I single handedly implemented features which improved the Developer Retention and Developer experience by 50%.
I was responsible for Designing and implementing Audit Logs feature end to end. I was responsible for architecture, design and implementation on the backend.
Introduced the transaction infrastructure for platform features, which reduced the corrupt application states by 99%.
Improved the performance of Serialisation Service used for Version and control, Templates, ImportExport flow by 3x.
