Migrations

Playbooks for migrating legacy data platforms onto Azure Databricks. The reusable methodology lives in the playbook; the source-specific docs cover the dialect, tooling, and gotchas for each platform.

This folder is delivery material, not client files. Keep it source-agnostic and reusable. Lean on the platform patterns in the repo's best-practices/ and lessons-learned/ rather than restating them here.

Docs#

• migration-playbook.md — the source-agnostic spine: the six phases (assess, design, migrate, validate, cut over, operate), strategy choices, validation and rollback patterns, and the technical delivery sequence.
• sql-server-to-databricks.md — migrating SQL Server: T-SQL and stored procedure conversion, type mapping, and SSIS/Agent orchestration to Lakeflow.
• azure-synapse-to-databricks.md — migrating Azure Synapse: dedicated SQL pools, Synapse pipelines, and serverless to the lakehouse.
