Time-Saving Migration Automation

Having successfully completed several data migration projects involving all common legacy database types, we have gained valuable insights into the intricacies and challenges of migrating every component of your existing data platform to a cloud platform.

Along the way, we automated the three most critical and time-consuming tasks in data migration projects.

How it works

Migration readiness audit

We audit your legacy data pipelines and assess the extent to which we can automate the migration of your data to a modern cloud platform.

Code conversion

Our software converts the functionality of the code of your legacy data transformation tool into an equivalent for the new one. 

Output quality validation

After code conversion, we automate validation to ensure the new system's output matches the legacy system. This eliminates manual effort, auto-approves identical results, and provides root-cause analysis for discrepancies.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main benefits of Kali for your organization?

Kali simplifies large-scale migrations by automating key processes, ensuring high-quality results with minimal reliance on specialized staff. By accelerating timelines and reducing risks, Kali enables faster decommissioning of legacy systems, cutting costs and maximizing success.

How does Kali compare to other solutions and traditional migration methods?

Unlike solutions that convert only individual code statements, Kali automates the transformation of entire data pipelines into optimized, production-ready (dbt) projects, including built-in testing. This ensures a faster, more accurate, and efficient migration process, significantly reducing manual effort, time, and errors compared to traditional methods.

What are the prerequisites for using Kali?

Kali requires no specific infrastructure and runs on private infrastructure. It doesn’t need direct access to enterprise data but requires access to current data pipelines in a pre-agreed format. A clear understanding of your data ecosystem, legacy systems, and target cloud platform is essential.

What legacy technologies does Kali support, and what platforms does it migrate to?

Kali currently supports migration from MySQL, PostgreSQL; Apache Hive, Cloudera Impala, SAS Data Integration Studio, and IBM DataStage. It can generate dbt projects specifically for Snowflake. Additionally, Kali features an open architecture, allowing support for other legacy systems. Informatica PowerCenter, Matillion, and Trifacta are currently in private preview.
