How OLTP and OLAP Databases Differ and Why It Matters for Your Data Architecture

Most data teams misuse OLTP and OLAP systems by forcing mismatched workloads, leading to bottlenecks, high costs, and missed opportunities. Smart teams separate environments, optimise data flow with incremental syncing, and use safe migration tools like Mirror Mode to achieve both transactional efficiency and analytical power without disruption.

How to Optimise OLAP and OLTP Systems for Better Performance

Most data teams struggle because inefficient architectures force them to choose between fast transactions (OLTP) and powerful analytics (OLAP), creating delays, high costs, and frustrated users. Smart teams separate systems by purpose, use efficient syncing like Change Data Capture, and adopt performance-based pricing to achieve real-time insights, cost savings, and scalable architectures without disruption.

Data Lake vs Data Warehouse: What’s the Difference and Which Should You Choose?

Many organisations feel forced to choose between a data lake or a data warehouse due to cost, complexity, or skill constraints, often settling for suboptimal setups that limit agility and inflate costs. Leading data teams are now adopting hybrid lakehouse architectures and transition tools like Mirror Mode to unify storage, improve analytics speed, and cut spend, without the disruption of traditional migrations.
