Why Python for this
Orqent Labs migrates warehouses in stages, reconciled at every step, so trust in the numbers survives the move.
Python is strongest at the entire ML ecosystem lives here. For data warehouse migration that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: for high-concurrency web services, TypeScript or Go usually serve better. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

We are not a reseller for Python and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.
What is included
- Inventory of every table, job and downstream consumer
- Query translation with behaviour differences documented
- Row-level and aggregate reconciliation between old and new
- Dual running until the numbers agree
- Staged cutover by consumer group
- Cost model comparing before and after
Questions
How do you avoid breaking reports?
Row-level and aggregate reconciliation between old and new, plus dual running until the numbers agree. Consumers move in stages, never all at once.
Which warehouse should we move to?
It depends on workload and existing cloud. We model cost against your real query patterns rather than list pricing, and sometimes the answer is to stay.
How long does it take?
Driven by the number of downstream consumers far more than data volume. The inventory in week one gives a realistic estimate.
Alternatives for data warehouse migration
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
