Seeking Guidance on Migrating Informatica PowerCenter Workflows to Databricks using Lakebridge

[chirag_nagar]

Hi everyone,

I hope you're doing well.

I'm currently exploring options to migrate a significant number of Informatica PowerCenter workflows and mappings to Databricks. During my research, I came across Lakebridge, especially its integration with BladeBridge, which appears to support automated conversion of Informatica logic into Databricks-native formats such as SQL, PySpark, and notebooks.

While the office documentation has been very helpful, I was hoping to get some additional insights or real-world experiences from the community to help guide our next steps.

I would truly appreciate your inputs on the following questions:
1. Has anyone here successfully migrated Informatica PowerCenter workflows using Lakebridge + BladeBridge

2. How was your experience regarding:

• Code quality
• Accuracy of transformations
• Workflow and orchestration logic coverage

3. Does BladeBridge support complex transformations and control flow logic in PowerCenter workflows?
Or is it primarily geared toward mapping conversions?

4. What does the licensing or pricing model look like for using BladeBridge via Lakebridge?
Is it included as part of Databricks support or offered separately?

5. Are there any demos or walkthroughs available that showcase the process of converting PowerCenter .xml files to Databricks code?

Good questions, I'm also curious. In the past, I supported this kind of migration using a custom solution to convert IPC to PySpark.

 I'm also curious. Looking forward for the answers with a same kind of questions. And also I could see there is a code repo shared by databricks for the lakebridge GitHub - databrickslabs/lakebridge: Accelerates migrations to Databricks by automating key migration.... Please share the experience if anyone used the code repo for migration.
