The platform decision looks different depending on what the data does.
The technical migration patterns, compliance surface, and cutover risk all shift by vertical. Each page covers the shapes that appear most often in that industry — the architectural decisions, the regulatory constraints, and the gotchas that typically eat the timeline — so you can scope the engagement before the first call.
SaaS
Usage-event volume, multi-tenant warehouse cost, and ARR cohort analytics at scale. When the warehouse bill starts tracking ARR growth, the platform topology needs to change.
FinTech
SOC 2 and PCI compliance posture, audit-trail reconciliation, regulatory data residency, and append-only ledger patterns. Compliance travels with the data or the audit fails.
E-commerce
Holiday peak compute scaling, product catalog data models, customer event stitching across web and mobile, and reverse-ETL to marketing tools. Peak windows are a planning input, not a surprise.
HealthTech
HIPAA compliance, PHI data perimeter design, FHIR/HL7 normalization, claims-data reconciliation, and lineage proof for regulatory audit. PHI does not move until every environment in the path has a BAA.
