Agentic AI · Databricks Migration

MIGRATEAi

An enterprise agentic AI accelerator that moves legacy data warehouses to the Databricks Lakehouse  discovering, converting, validating, and optimizing at code scale, with engineers authorizing every consequential change.

Discover · Convert · Validate

The Challenge

A converted query isn't a migration. A validated cutover is.

Legacy warehouses hold decades of business logic  thousands of SQL procedures, tangled ETL, and undocumented dependencies. Handmigrating that estate is slow, error-prone, and hard to trust: teams rewrite code line by line, discover hidden logic late, and only reconcile data at the very end, when defects are most expensive to fix.

Why traditional migrations stall

01

Manual conversion at scale

SQL, stored procedures, and ETL are rewritten by hand. The work is slow, inconsistent, and impossible to repeat across a large estate.

02

Unknown dependencies

Lineage is undocumented and business logic is buried in code. Nobody knows what a change will break until it breaks in production.

03

Validation as an afterthought

Reconciliation happens only at the end. Data defects surface at cutover  the latest, riskiest, most costly moment to find them.

The Operating Model

Three layers that turn legacy code into a governed lakehouse

Migrate AI runs as three integrated layers over a Unity Catalog governance foundation and a medallion architected Delta Lake. Together they form a closed loop  from what you have, to how it moves, to proof it’s right  with engineers wrapped around every consequential decision.

01

Discovery & Assessment

What do you have?

Scans metadata, code, and schedulers to build a complete inventory, lineage, and effort model.

Metadata & lineage discovery

Dependency graph

Complexity & effort scoring

TCO & DBU estimation

02

Conversion & Optimization

How does it move?

AI transpiles SQL and ETL into Databricks-native artifacts, then tunes them for Lakehouse performance.

SQL & stored-proc conversion

ETL → DLT & PySpark

Photon / ZORDER / Liquid tuning

Reusable conversion templates

03

Validation & Cutover

Is it right?
Reconciles source and target continuously, governs access, and executes a controlled, reversible cutover.

Row / checksum reconciliation

Automated regression testing

Unity Catalog & lineage

Governed deploy & rollback

The Agent Inventory

Eight agents. Each with a trigger, a boundary, and a hand-off

Migrate AI is a multi-agent system. Agents run in parallel through an orchestration framework and share state through the metadata and lineage graph. No agent has autonomous authority over schema changes, production deployment, or cutover  that boundary is enforced in the architecture.

A01

Discovery Agent

Scans metadata, SQL, ETL packages, and schedulers; builds inventory, data lineage, and the dependency graph.

A02

Assessment Agent

Scores object complexity and effort; estimates DBUs, TCO, and migration risk to prioritize the roadmap.

A03

SQL Conversion Agent

Transpiles SQL, stored procedures, views, UDFs, and recursive logic into Databricks SQL and Spark SQL.

A04

ETL Conversion Agent

Converts Informatica, SSIS, DataStage, Talend, and Ab Initio into Delta Live Tables, PySpark, and Workflows.

A05

Optimization Agent

Applies partitioning, ZORDER, Liquid Clustering, Photon, and caching for Lakehouse cost and performance.

A06

Validation Agent

Reconciles source and target by row count, checksum, and business rules; emits evidence-cited exception reports.

A07

Governance Agent

Provisions Unity Catalog, access controls, data classification, and lineage; enforces policy before cutover.

A08

Documentation Agent

Generates data dictionaries, runbooks, lineage diagrams, and migration reports never codes autonomously

The Migration Lifecycle

Ten stages, one closed loop from legacy to lakehouse.

Every migration follows the same loop: an estate is discovered and prioritized, code is converted and validated, workloads are optimized and governed, then cut over and continuously improved  each stage gated by validation before the next begins.
