• 2 Google Cloud Certified Professional Data Engineers
  
  

We are officially recognized as a Google Cloud Partner with verified credentials in data modernization, security, and DevOps.

‍

Your Trusted Partner for Modern Cloud Data Architectures

CHDS helps you:

• Assess, rationalize, and prepare on-premise database portfolios for Google Cloud
  
• Migrate to Spanner, AlloyDB, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, or hybrid GCP-native solutions
  
• Refactor data architectures to unlock scalability, availability, and reliability
  
• Operate with precision using Google Cloud-native DevSecFinOps best practices
  
• Maintain agility and independence with vendor-neutral, open, modular design

‍

Lean Delivery for Database-Centric Projects

CHDS applies Lean principles natively to the database domain—bringing predictability, cost-efficiency, and flow into complex transformation efforts.

Extended Lean Application to Databases:

Identify Value

• We determine what to migrate, modernize, archive, or sunset.
  
• Value is defined not just by technical efficiency but by direct business impact.
  
  

Map the Value Stream

• We build flowcharts of every touchpoint: ingestion, ETL/ELT, storage tiers, analytics consumers.
  
• We eliminate non-value-adding joins, job schedules, or duplicated pipelines.
  
  

Create Flow

• Migrations are modularized.
  
• Cross-functional delivery teams eliminate delays due to silos (infra, dev, DBA).
  
• Cutovers, validations, and optimizations follow continuous handoffs.
  
  

Establish Pull

• Migration is user-driven: no table or app is moved before readiness.
  
• Environments are right-sized and provisioned on demand (no overcommitment).
  
  

Seek Perfection

• CHDS embeds retrospectives, defect tracking, workload reviews.
  
• We incorporate cost, security, and performance metrics in feedback loops.
  
  

This approach reduces classic DOWNTIME database wastes: over-indexing, under-utilized clusters, redundant data lakes, untested DR, overly strict retention, and manual rework.

CHDS RaMP: Google-Compatible Rapid Migration & Modernization Program

Our RaMP framework is fully aligned with the official Google Cloud RaMP initiative—but extended with CHDS-specific Lean and database-centric enhancements.
‍

What Makes RaMP Different at CHDS:

• Fully compatible with Google Cloud RaMP and lifecycle
  
• Tailored for complex DB environments with schema dependency mapping
  
• Delivers Lean-compatible sprints to validate, tune, and deliver incrementally
  
• Addresses both Greenfield and Brownfield data migrations
  
  

RaMP Covers:

• Platform migrations: Oracle to AlloyDB, SQL Server to Cloud SQL, Data Marts to BigQuery
  
• Real-time data enablement: CDC with Datastream, Pub/Sub
  
• App-data decoupling: microservice readiness via schema refactoring
  
• Resilience testing: failover simulation, backup and restore validation
  
  

Each project is delivered in 4 Lean-infused phases: Discovery, Pilot, Execution, Optimization.
