Databricks acquires BladeBridge to aid data warehouse migrations
Briefly

Databricks has acquired BladeBridge to enhance enterprise migrations to its lakehouse from competitors like Teradata and Snowflake. BladeBridge offers tools for efficient migration including an Analyzer for scope reporting and query testing, a Converter for data transformation, and more. The software aims to reduce migration times significantly, enabling configurations to adapt over time. Their AI-driven processes ensure thorough accounting for legacy data structures throughout the migration, ultimately facilitating smoother transitions to Databricks SQL.
The Analyzer provides a full report of the migration's scope and complexity, while also automatically conducting query testing between the rival database and Databricks SQL to identify discrepancies for early remediation.
The approach ensures that customers retain full ownership of the conversion patterns, so configurations can always be updated if new requirements emerge at later stages of the migration.
