The Hidden Costs of Legacy Pipelines

Maintaining legacy pipelines results in:

Increased Costs

  • Ongoing expenses for software licensing and hardware maintenance

Data Silos

  • Fragmented data preventing seamless integration and comprehensive analysis

Skill Gap

  • Difficulty finding professionals skilled in both legacy and modern systems

The Migration Process with DataYoga

Assessment

Comprehensive analysis for informed migration

1.

Our assessment process identifies all data sources, data targets, lookup entities, transformations, and expression types, producing a detailed report that classifies the complexity of each pipeline.

Conversion

Parse and process pipelines

2.

Rewire passive transformations into a streamlined, linear flow and transform all blocks into our proprietary, target-agnostic format. This ensures that pipelines are ready to be optimized for any cloud environment in the subsequent rendering step.

Rendering and Optimization

Generate dbt artifacts

3.

dbt models are generated, ensuring accurate dialect translation and optimization.

Validation

Ensuring data consistency

4.

During this stage, all rendered artifacts are verified to function correctly and that data entities align precisely with those in the target database. Using automated comparison tools, the new pipelines are regression tested to ensure a full match with the legacy system.

Acceptance

End-to-end regression testing

5.

Rendered artifacts are executed in the cloud platform. A detailed comparison is conducted of the target data entities with those from the legacy pipelines. This final verification ensures that the migration not only aligns perfectly with operational requirements but also maintains data integrity.
