Lakebridge is an open-source toolkit developed by Databricks for migrating enterprise workloads to Databricks SQL (DBSQL), primarily aimed at system integrators and consultants rather than end users. Originally known as BladeBridge before its acquisition and rebranding in 2024, Lakebridge requires comprehensive configuration knowledge and manual setup, with a focus on assisting Databricks' partner ecosystem. It offers schema-, column-, and row-level reconciliation but lacks comprehensive value-level data validation, and its static, rule-based translation may necessitate manual adjustments for complex logic. Unlike solutions like Datafold's Migration Agent, which provides end-to-end automation and AI-driven feedback loops for thorough data validation and parity, Lakebridge does not support modern transformation tools like dbt or Coalesce.io. Despite its limitations, Lakebridge is positioned as a migration accelerator to aid in transitioning legacy SQL and ETL workloads into the Databricks environment, though it may require external expertise for optimal execution.
