SQL Server Databricks Automated ETL Pipeline
Need to load SQL Server data to Databricks on AWS or Azure for Machine Learning or Analytics? BryteFlow helps you implement SQL Server Databricks integration with an automated ETL pipeline (no coding) in real-time. It carries out SQL Server Databricks Replication using CDC or Change Tracking to sync data with changes at source. It loads the first full refresh with multi-threaded parallel loading, automated partioning and compression, and delivers deltas with automated Change Data Capture. It provides time-versioned data along with SCD Type2 history. BryteFlow transforms and provides ready-to-use data in the Databricks Lakehouse for Machine Learning and Analytics.

How much time will your Database Administrators need to spend on managing the replication?
Using BryteFlow saves your DBA’s time. He or she will not need to manage backups and dependencies until the changes have been processed or configure full backups etc. which can add to the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the solution. They won’t need to assign sysadmin privileges to users either.
With BryteFlow, it is “set and forget”. There is no involvement from the DBAs required on a continual basis, hence the TCO is much lower. Further, you do not need sysadmin privileges for the replication user.

SQL Server to Databricks (Easy Migration Method)
SQL Server ingestion to Databricks is monitored for data completeness from beginning to end
BryteFlow provides end-to-end monitoring of data and makes it a point to track your data. For e.g. if you are replicating SQL Server data to Databricks at 3pm on Monday Sep. 5, 2022, all the changes at source till that point will be replicated to the Databricks database, latest change last so the data will be replicated with all inserts, deletes and updates present at source.
Data Integration on Databricks
Databricks Data maintains Referential Integrity
With BryteFlow you can maintain the referential integrity of your data when replicating data from SQL Server to Databricks. This means that when there are changes in the SQL Server source and when those changes are replicated to the destination (Databricks AWS & Databricks Azure) you will know exactly what changed- the date, the time and the values that changed at the columnar level.
Archive data while preserving SCD Type 2 history
BryteFlow provides time-stamped data and the versioning feature allows you to access data from any point on the timeline. This versioning feature is integral to historical and predictive trend analysis.
