Migrating the fun out of it

For almost a decade I have helped enterprises move their data into Azure. Whether it is an Oracle to SQL Migration, a APS lift and shift to Synapse or Redshift to Fabric, I have seen a lot of projects on data migration. And all of them followed the same structure. Everyone starts confident, agile teams are in place, kickoff meetings are planned and there is a firm belief that this migration is going to help the company forward. But suddenly things will change, architects are doubting the build fast/fail fast philosophy, more data must be ingested. And while we are migrating anyway let's add some new functionality as well. But testing is becoming a lot more complicated. Developers are stuck in processes and the business is not seeing any added value soon. And on top of all that things appear to be a lot more expensive. In this session I have accumulated all the good and bad things I have seen in all these years and share them with you. To give you a head start into your future cloud data project. If you don't want to make the same mistake everybody else is making you need to be in this session.
