This white paper presents a modern, AI-assisted approach to migrating enterprise data products from Amazon Redshift to Databricks using a declarative, YAML-driven transformation framework powered by Databricks Genie. By abstracting complex SQL and pipeline logic into reusable configuration patterns, the framework enables rapid, scalable conversion of legacy stored procedures into Databricks-native pipelines with minimal manual coding. Genie further accelerates the process by analyzing legacy logic, generating transformation artifacts, and supporting validation, reducing migration effort by up to 90%.
The result is a repeatable, ingestion-first modernization model that simplifies pipeline creation, enforces standardization, and enables teams to deliver governed, production-ready data products on Databricks with speed and confidence.
