TechTarget: Next Pathway offers ETL code translation as SaaS
Next Pathway has launched a software-as-a-service version of its code translation engine to provide a self-service option for companies migrating logic from legacy data warehouses to public and private cloud environments.
Shift Cloud, introduced this week, is a self-service version of
Next Pathway's Shift translation tool
. Shift translates
extract, transform and load
(ETL) code from legacy data warehouses and converts it to logic for cloud-native systems. The conversion prepares the destination system for loading the legacy data. Still, other tools are needed to format the incoming data for the new technology.
A customer typically works directly with Next Pathway or through a systems integrator. Shift Cloud is Next Pathway's attempt to let companies handle the translation of legacy ETL code themselves, CEO Chetan Mathur said.
