Guides stay short on purpose. Deployment, Docker, and pilot grids live on shared pages — not here.
Why teams move now
- Viya & license pressure. Renewals climb while cloud analytics wins budget.
- Talent cliff. Nobody under 40 knows SAS; Python/SQL is the hiring market.
- Macro libraries. %DO-generated SQL is where DIY rewrites stall.
Hardest construct — sanitized peek
Enough to judge fit. Not a rebuild-the-parser cookbook.
Before
%macro dyn(tables); .. %mend;
After (snowflake)
for t in tables:
session.sql(f'create or replace table out_{t} as select * from {t}').collect()
SQL vs Python
Snowflake SQL when SQL is enough. When you need Python, we emit PySpark that writes to Snowflake.
What good looks like
Parser-driven conversion, readable snowflake 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.
