Migrating to SingleStore Without Rewriting a Line of Code
Whether it’s switching cloud providers, changing a major dependency or replacing your database, migrations are notoriously complex — and often riddled with edge cases, regressions and rewriting code that used to “just work.”
One of our customers recently switched their database to SingleStore. At the core of their backend was a TypeScript stack powered by Drizzle ORM , and their immediate concern was familiar: “Do we have to rewrite all of our database code?” No, you don’t.
Thanks to their use of Drizzle — and our official SingleStore Drizzle connector — the customer was able to migrate databases with zero changes to their application logic. This is exactly the kind of experience we set out to enable when we partnered with the Drizzle team last year.
In this post, we’ll walk you through how they made the move, why their use of Drizzle made all the difference and how you can avoid the usual pitfalls of a database migration.
