Data migration: Maximizing value with SQL, Trino, and Starburst

Data migration is a crucial aspect of modern digital transformation, focusing on the strategic relocation of data across systems, with an emphasis on cloud adoption to enhance efficiency, scalability, and innovation. The process involves meticulous planning and execution phases, leveraging tools such as SQL, Trino, and Starburst to ensure smooth transitions, cost-effectiveness, and productivity improvements. Key steps include migrating data, ETL pipelines, and analytical tools like reports and dashboards while maintaining data integrity and governance. The transition from traditional systems like Hadoop to Cloud Data Lakes using solutions such as Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, and Apache Hudi highlights the strategic shift towards agile, efficient, and cost-effective data management. This involves not just technical upgrades but also strategic moves to streamline operations, minimize costs, and enhance data accessibility and reliability, ultimately facilitating deeper data-driven insights.
