Your Db2 to CockroachDB migration, done fixed-scope with senior engineers.
Yes, moving IBM Db2 to CockroachDB is a well-understood project. We run it as a fixed-scope engagement with senior platform engineers, while your legacy Db2 environment stays security-patched until you cut over.
The lowest-cost way off IBM Db2: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM Db2 → CockroachDB after migration
- ✓Fixed scope, no overruns—3–5 senior engineers assigned.
- ✓Continuous security patching of your legacy IBM Db2.
- ✓Convert app logic to distributed SQL patterns safely.
- ✓Resilient multi-region CockroachDB with zero proprietary hardware.
- ✓Reduce IBM licensing overhead 40–70% while you migrate.
Stuck on Db2 session locks and global variables
Heavy IBM Db2 systems use session-level locks and global variables that don't transfer to distributed SQL. We refactor them one by one, maintaining transactional integrity.
Mainframe decimal precision scares you
Db2 mainframe zones and decimal formats differ from CockroachDB. Our engineers map precision rules in the assessment phase—no runtime surprises.
Table serialization logic may break
If your Db2 application relies on specific serialization behaviors, we convert those patterns to CockroachDB's distributed SQL model without changing your business logic.
IBM Db2 → CockroachDB migration — your questions answered
Does my Db2 vendor support drop during the migration?+
No. Your IBM Db2 stays under vendor support as long as your contract is active. You migrate on your timeline.
What if my vendor renewal lapses before migration finishes?+
Our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy Db2 platform while you complete the move. It is not vendor support and does not include vendor patches, but it keeps you running.
How do you handle Db2 session variables and locks?+
We catalog every lock and variable in the assessment, then refactor them to CockroachDB's concurrency model. No big-bang breakage.
Can I save money on Db2 licensing while I plan the move?+
Yes. Our third-party support on the legacy platform typically saves 40–70% versus vendor renewals, giving you budget and time to migrate.
