Efficient Data Migration: Overcoming Challenges from Podio to Tape

The Problem

The client needed to transfer a large volume of data, specifically 5,000 records and 7,000 files, from Podio to Tape efficiently. They faced challenges with rate limits that could hinder timely data migration.

The Solution

A Node.js application was developed to handle the data transfer. The app was designed to respect rate limits by implementing both second and hourly restrictions. It also included a feature to log successful imports in a database, allowing the process to resume smoothly in case of interruptions.

The Result

The solution enabled the client to successfully migrate their data without exceeding rate limits, ensuring data integrity and minimizing downtime. The logging mechanism provided peace of mind by eliminating the need to redo completed imports, streamlining the entire process.
