Migrating Between Accounts

My company just went through an acquisition/carve out and we need to import data from the current amplitude instance to a fresh one.

The challenge I’m running into is how to handle the crazy amount of data. The json exports are far larger than the 20mb upload limits, and each month is hundreds of mb. We need to backfill a year of data.

Has anyone reliably figured this out or have any tips? I would love if Amplitude could provide more assistance than just the data import articles.

I figured this out and have published an import script here:

If you need to import data between two amplitude instances, this is for you. If you have improvements, feel free to contribute to the repository.

Solved by the customer themselves and seems to be more community focused than support focused

Best Practices for Switching Amplitude Projects in a Multi-Country Mobile App (Post-Country Selection)
Hi everyone, I’m working on adding Amplitude to a single mobile application serving multiple countries. Inside the app, users are shown a country selector panel (e.g., Egypt, Turkey, UAE, etc.), which determines the localized experience they will receive — each country has its own UX flow and logic. The client wants…
