Sponsored By: Qubika | Building a Modern Data Foundation on Databricks: Lessons Learned From FanDuel Migration

Modern data platform migrations are no longer purely technical initiatives — they are business programs that reshape the foundation for operations, compliance, real-time decision making, and future AI adoption. In this session, Qubika shares how we partnered with FanDuel to migrate core workloads from Amazon Redshift to the Databricks lakehouse in a highly regulated, real-time environment. We cover the key engineering challenges, including rebuilding governance and metadata in Unity Catalog, validating data consistency at scale, and preserving developer velocity across large, multi-team migrations. We then show how these lessons led us to design an AI-powered Migration and Governance Agent — built natively on Databricks and powered by Lakebase as its persistent memory layer — to manage long-running workflows, reason over dependencies, and automate Databricks-ready governance artifacts. Attendees will leave with a practical blueprint to industrialize migrations and reduce risk.
