description: Move your data to Tiger Cloud from other databases
---

Whether you're moving an existing database to Tiger Cloud or loading data from files and streaming sources, this section has you covered. There are three ways to get your data in: a one-time [migration](/migrate/livesync-replication/index.md) that ends with Tiger Cloud as your primary database, ongoing [sync and stream](/migrate/livesync-for-postgresql/index.md) that keeps your source primary and Tiger Cloud as a live replica, or a one-off [file upload](/migrate/import-console/index.md).

Not sure which fits your source database, size, and downtime budget? See [Choose a migration approach](/migrate/choose-your-approach/index.md) to compare the tools, or jump straight to a method below.
