What is legacy-to-databricks?

Our legacy-to-databricks solution enables organizations to efficiently migrate from ANY legacy environment to the Databricks Data Intelligence platform with minimal risk and maximum value.

Purpose-Built Migration Accelerators

Our migration accelerators are purpose-built solutions developed to solve real customer challenges. We created them to shorten the time it takes for enterprises to realize value from the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.

Each solution combines proven blueprints, automation, and Databricks best practices. They're designed to simplify complexity, reduce risk, and deliver outcomes fast—from standing up a production-ready Lakehouse in weeks to unlocking AI-powered insights with governed pipelines.

By embedding governance, security, and cost optimization into every accelerator, StarX ensures you get more than a quick start. You get a scalable foundation that supports your business long term.

SQL & ETL

Legacy DWH and Hadoop transformations

SAP & ERP

Business-critical workload migration

BI Extracts

Unified reporting and analytics

ML Models

Production-scale model serving

From Discovery to Validated Production

Our end-to-end framework takes you from discovery through validated cutover, combining automation, governance, and data quality checks to reduce migration risk and accelerate value on Databricks.

Baseline Lakehouse Foundation

Establish a secure landing zone with Unity Catalog as the foundation. Lay the groundwork for governance and scalable data operations.

Assess Lineage & Patterns

Analyze lineage, SQL patterns, and workload criticality. Gain a clear picture of dependencies before migration begins.

Convert to Modern Patterns

Transform SQL and ETL logic into Spark and Lakehouse patterns. Modernize workflows without disrupting business logic.

Orchestrate with Unity Catalog

Automate data pipelines using Delta Live Tables. Register assets seamlessly into Unity Catalog for unified governance.

Validate with Side-by-Side Testing

Run parallel tests to ensure accuracy and consistency. Confirm data quality with automated checks before production.

Risk-Free Production Cutover

Move to production with parallel run and rollback plan. Minimize downtime and ensure a smooth, risk-free transition.

Typical Migration Engagement Timeline

Every legacy-to-databricks migration follows a proven three-phase journey, balancing speed with governance and risk control.

Assessment

2-3 weeks
