Planning and Executing a Snowflake Data Warehouse Migration to Databricks
Description
Organizations are going through a critical phase of data infrastructure modernization, laying the foundation for the future, and adapting to support growing data and AI needs. Organizations that embraced cloud data warehouses (CDW) such as Snowflake have ended up trying to use a data warehousing tool for ETL pipelines and data science. This created unnecessary complexity and resulted in poor performance since data warehouses are optimized for SQL-based analytics only. Realizing the limitation and pain with cloud data warehouses, organizations are turning to a lakehouse-first architecture. Though a cloud platform to cloud platform migration should be relatively easy, the breadth of the Databricks platform provides flexibility and hence requires careful planning and execution. In this session, we present the migration methodology, technical approaches, automation tools, product/feature mapping, a technical demo and best practices using real-world case studies for migrating data, ELT pipelines and warehouses from Snowflake to Databricks.
