# Couchbase migration execution
A skill for *executing* data migrations into Couchbase — the mechanics of moving data, keeping source and target in sync during transition, validating equivalence, and switching production traffic.
Distinct from the sibling skills:
- `couchbase-data-modeling` — how to MODEL the data after migrating (document shape, boundaries, access patterns)
- `couchbase-sizing` — how to size the target cluster
- `couchbase-app-integration` — how to write app code that uses Couchbase (relevant during dual-write)
- `couchbase-mcp` — operating the cluster (creating the target, running queries during validation)
- **`couchbase-migration-execution` (this skill)** — the operational mechanics of moving data and switching over
If the conversation is "how do I get my data from X into Couchbase," this is the right skill.
## When this skill applies
- "How do I migrate from MongoDB / Postgres / DynamoDB / MySQL to Couchbase?"
- "Should I do a big-bang migration or phased?"
- "What's dual-write?"
- "How do I keep the source and target in sync during migration?"
- "Can I use CDC for this?"
- "How do I validate the migration worked?"
- "How do I cut over production traffic?"
- "What if the migration goes wrong — can I roll back?"
- "Tooling for bulk loading into Couchbase?"
