Best Practices

Use these guidelines to keep the migration repeatable, safe, and easy to verify.

• Automate everything—Use ml-gradle to keep app servers, databases, indexes, security, and jobs under version control.
• Design for reruns—Make Flux jobs safe to run more than once by using the same document paths and collection names every time.
• Validate continuously—Use a small validator to check counts, sample hashes, triples, rows, and key business rules.
• Plan for encryption and certificates early—Set up encryption and certificates before cutover to avoid last-minute outages.
