Platform Migration

Synapse → Databricks Migration

A staged migration onto a governed Databricks Lakehouse — operational reporting never went dark.

The challenge

Synapse workloads had grown past where they made sense, and Databricks was the right next platform — but the operations team couldn't tolerate any downtime in reporting.

Our approach

How we structured the work, end to end.

01
Audited Synapse workloads to plan a wave-based migration with no break in reporting continuity.
02
Re-architected the Lakehouse on Databricks with Delta Lake and governance baked in.
03
Used migration tooling to replicate logic faithfully and reconcile against parallel-running Synapse outputs.
04
Cut over reporting wave-by-wave with full parallel running until the new platform proved itself.

The architecture

From source to insight, in one governed flow.

Outcome

What changed
Synapse is decommissioned, Databricks runs the platform, and not a single morning briefing was missed during the migration.
