Guides stay short on purpose. Deployment, Docker, and pilot grids live on shared pages — not here.
Why teams move now
- Extended support clock. PowerCenter extended support ends March 2027 — decisions are happening now.
- Roadmap uncertainty. Salesforce ownership raises stay-vs-leave questions for many estates.
- Parallel cloud cost. Running Informatica beside a lakehouse duplicates spend.
Hardest construct — sanitized peek
Enough to judge fit. Not a rebuild-the-parser cookbook.
Before -- Unconnected Lookup (sanitized) OUT_TIER = :LKP.LKP_TIER(CUST_ID) After (bigquery) df = df.join(F.broadcast(tier), 'cust_id', 'left')
SQL vs Python
BigQuery SQL when SQL is enough. When you need Python, we emit PySpark on Dataproc that writes to BigQuery.
What good looks like
Parser-driven conversion, readable bigquery output, and row-level parity before cutover. Upload a sample or run a pilot on your estate — no email gate to peek.
Next step
Try a curated sample, then price your estate. Book a call only for guided / air-gapped needs.
