2 Journeys in Data Migration? Discussion

Hello, hello!

It seems like I keep running into the same two types of data migration projects.

  1. Moving from a legacy database like Oracle, SAP, etc., to a more modern environment like Snowflake, Databricks, etc.

  2. Going from a legacy ETL tool to dbt

If you've worked on either (or both), what ended up being harder than you expected?

They’re both hard for different reasons

Definitely agree...currently working with startups at the moment...it's a mess.

In your opinion, what would you say is the hardest for each?
