One Databricks lakehouse replacing four warehouses

A migration of reporting and forecasting workloads to Databricks with dbt models, lineage and a 38 percent lower bill.

38%lower monthly data platform cost

Illustrative case study. The numbers and names here are examples, not a client record.

The problem

Four warehouses, three definitions of revenue, and a forecasting model nobody could rerun.

What we built

A single Databricks lakehouse with dbt models, tests on every table, lineage from source to dashboard, and the forecasting model rebuilt as a scheduled job with its features stored next to the data.

How it went

A two-week cost and lineage audit set the plan. We migrated one domain at a time, running old and new in parallel until the numbers matched, then switched the dashboards.

This is an illustrative case study. Replace it with a real engagement before launch.
