Streamlined Data Migration Between Platforms

The Problem

There was a need to export a large volume of records and files from one platform and import them into another while managing rate limits and ensuring data integrity.

The Solution

I developed a Node.js application to handle the export of 5,000 records and 7,000 files from the initial platform, Podio. To manage the rate limits imposed by the systems, I implemented a queuing mechanism that respected both second and hourly limitations, ensuring steady data flow without triggering restrictions. I also integrated a database to keep track of successful imports, which allowed for seamless recovery and continuation in case of interruptions.

The Result

The application successfully transferred all records and files, adhering to the rate limits without any service disruptions. The use of a tracking database ensured that the process could be resumed without data loss, enhancing reliability and efficiency.
