Datafold

As more data teams move off Redshift to control costs, simplify performance, and support AI workloads, Databricks’ new guide lays out a clear, phased approach to executing a migration to lakehouse architecture: • Inventory and prioritize workloads to reduce migration risk • Translate schemas thoughtfully to avoid long-term performance issues • Leverage tools like Datafold’s Migration Agent to handle end-to-end migration—from scoping to validation If your team is planning—or even just considering—a Redshift migration, this field guide is a great place to start. https://lnkd.in/gdak_duZ

Datafold CEO Gleb Mezhanskiy will be joining Coalesce.io CEO Armon Petrossian this Thursday, October 23rd, for a live conversation about one of the hardest problems in data: migrations. For years, moving off legacy ETL tools has meant tradeoffs—painful timelines, massive budgets, and months of manual work. But AI is finally changing that. Gleb’s been in the trenches—first leading migrations at Lyft, and now building the tools that make them faster and less daunting for modern teams. If your team is planning a migration—or already in the middle of one—don’t miss this. https://lnkd.in/gCzFN6MZ

We’re cracking open fresh coconuts 🥥 and dbt Labs migrations at Coalesce. Our Solutions Engineer, Leo Folsom, shows that both take the right tools. Stop by our booth to see how Datafold delivers the fastest migrations to dbt — and grab a coconut while you’re at it.

We made migrating dbt Labs projects to Databricks effortless. Our Product Manager Nick Carchedi shows how you can go from setup to validated code ready to run on Databricks.

There’s a new way to move dbt Labs projects to Databricks—one that turns months-long projects into weeks-long engagements. dbt's portability promised platform flexibility, but migrations still required massive SI costs or endless internal engineering hours. We've eliminated that barrier. Connect your systems, hit start, and get production-ready validated code in weeks. And since Datafold is a Databricks Delivery Partner, customers can engage through existing agreements—no separate contracts or security reviews. How’s that for fast? https://lnkd.in/gdczx-36

Only one week until Coalesce 2025! Abigail Green and Gleb Mezhanskiy will be on stage sharing how CHG Healthcare avoided an 18-month migration nightmare. In just 3 months, CHG was able to translate and validate 2,000+ MySQL queries into dbt Cloud + Snowflake. The key? Datafold’s AI Migration Agent: translating complex legacy SQL, refactoring code to dbt standards, and validating every row with Data Diffs. 15 months saved. $450K in cost savings. If you’re at Coalesce this year, don’t miss this session on how AI is changing the modernization playbook.

Just two weeks until Coalesce 2025, and we couldn’t be more excited. Our team will be on the ground in Vegas to connect with the dbt Labs community and talk about what it really takes to modernize data stacks with dbt migrations. If you’re heading to Coalesce, come find our booth. We’d love to trade notes on how teams are tackling modernization.

We just shipped the most powerful tool we’ve ever built for data platform migrations. Datafold Migration Agent 2.0 is a full rebuild of our flagship migration engine—with a graph-based core, smarter refactoring, and automation that spans the entire migration lifecycle. Where others scale by adding consultants, we scale with software. DMA 2.0 tackles the complexity that stalls most migrations before they start, and gets smarter with every one. A few things that make it incredibly powerful: • Graph-powered dependency mapping, even across tools and layers • Translation built for scale (yes, 300K-character stored procedures) • Automatic refactoring into modern frameworks like dbt • Best in-class synthetic testing data for secure, large-scale validation • End-to-end parity testing to guarantee outcomes you can trust And because we believe migrations shouldn’t be a distraction for your team, DMA is fully managed by Datafold to deliver you outcomes – not headaches.  Learn how DMA can accelerate your modernization by up to 6x: https://lnkd.in/gXN2V8Hv

Migrations are central to modernization, but no one knows what’s “normal,” especially as AI begins to change the playbook and introduce new ways of tackling code translation and validation. That’s why we’re building the first benchmark of data platform migration costs, timelines, and impact. Share your story and get early access to the results. The first 100 respondents will receive a $25 gift card as a thank you. https://lnkd.in/gJBErDPb
