From the sources

“Kiba and Kiba Pro helped us with our biggest database migration from MySQL to Postgres, by reducing the migration time from couple of days to less than one hour, all while increasing data quality. We're now also using Kiba Pro to build and update our internal datawarehouse, with full in-house control of the data flow.” Need to embed/distribute Kiba Pro to your customers?
