Migrate from SQL Server to PostgreSQL with Babelfish on FoundryDB
SQL Server licensing costs add up fast. Per-core pricing, Software Assurance renewals, and the looming end of extended support for older versions push teams to look for alternatives. PostgreSQL is the obvious destination, but rewriting thousands of stored procedures, converting T-SQL syntax, and updating every connection string is a project nobody wants to start.
Babelfish for PostgreSQL changes the equation. It adds a SQL Server wire-protocol layer (TDS) on top of PostgreSQL, so your existing applications connect to port 1433 and run T-SQL queries as before. No driver changes. No syntax rewrites. On FoundryDB, you get a fully managed Babelfish instance running on PostgreSQL 16 with backups, TLS, monitoring, and point-in-time recovery built in.
