Untangle Complex SQL with AI

Ever faced a mountain of business logic buried in stored procedures and a transactional database groaning under analytical demands? In this session, I’ll share how we helped a customer take the leap from traditional systems to a modern, scalable Lakehouse architecture — and how Generative AI was a game-changer at every step.
We leveraged Databricks’ GenAI tools like Mosaic AI and Genie to untangle complex SQL logic, translate it to PySpark, and deliver real-time KPIs through an intuitive AI interface.
What you'll learn:
🔍 How to identify when it's time to migrate from transactional DBs to a Lakehouse.
🧠 How to use GenAI (Mosaic AI) to translate stored procedures into scalable PySpark code.
🏗️ How to structure a Lakehouse solution that fits your organization’s data and logic needs.
🤖 How to implement GenAI tools (like Databricks Genie) to empower business users with real-time, conversational KPI access.
🚀 Lessons learned, pitfalls to avoid, and tips to accelerate your AI-driven data journey.
