Microsoft lifecycle

SQL Server 2017 extended support ends 12 October 2027.

That date is from the Microsoft Lifecycle policy. After extended support, regular security updates stop unless you buy Extended Security Updates — a bridge, not a plan.

We upgrade Microsoft SQL Server in an isolated replica, with a signed column map and tests, then we can run production go-live or your team can run the tested runbook.

• Stay on a supported SQL Server release (2022 or 2025), on-prem, Azure SQL, or on an Azure, AWS, or Google VM
• Land a workload onto SQL Server from PostgreSQL, MySQL, or another instance
• Or move a SQL Server workload to Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL, or another engine you named
