BladeBridge Transpiler

BladeBridge is a code conversion engine designed to modernize ETL and SQL workloads into Databricks-native formats.

It supports both:

  • SQL-based platforms (e.g., Oracle, Teradata, Netezza, Microsoft SQL Server)
  • ETL platforms (e.g. DataStage)

Conversion Model​

SQL Input Files​

For each SQL source file, BladeBridge generates a single output file containing the translated Databricks-compatible logic. This can include:

  • Tables and view definitions
  • Databricks SQL scripting stored procedures

Note: BladeBridge supports SQL scripting constructs, and source stored procedures are translated to Databricks SQL scripting equivalents.

ETL Input Files​

ETL source files may produce multiple outputs, depending on job type:

ETL Job TypeOutput Format
Transformational JobsDatabricks Notebooks (cells)
Workflow/OrchestrationDatabricks Workflow JSON

Each ETL component is translated into a logical code block, with mapping maintained across source and target systems.

Configuration-Driven Execution​

BladeBridge runs based on a configuration file, allowing you to define:

  • Input/output directories
  • Source and target technologies
  • Custom naming conventions
  • Extension points for converter plugins
