Description

  • Execute database migrations with enterprise and Private Cloud customers, including running migration calls and owning technical delivery.
  • Take ownership of the PlanetScale relationship and manage ongoing migration work from its current ad hoc state.

  • Automate recurring migration requests that appear across channels to reduce manual effort.
  • Support broader application and service migrations onto Private Cloud when database migration work allows.
