Abstract: The increasing need for scalable, cost-effective, and cloud-native data solutions has propelled organizations to migrate from legacy systems like Teradata to modern platforms such as Snowflake. This paper delves into comprehensive strategies, explores technical challenges, and presents robust solutions for migrating Teradata workloads to Snowflake. It emphasizes advanced techniques for schema conversion, SQL translation, query performance tuning, and cost optimization. Detailed workflows, in-depth technical comparisons, and actionable insights are accompanied by diagrams, flowcharts, and examples to guide data engineers and architects through successful migrations.
