Case Study: FanDuel saves 6+ months on Redshift-to-Databricks migration with Datafold

FanDuel saves 6+ months migrating to Databricks with Datafold

FanDuel, a major player in the highly regulated gaming industry, faced the immense challenge of migrating its data ecosystem from Amazon Redshift to Databricks. Their sprawling infrastructure included over 1,100 dbt models and critical regulatory reports, and they could not afford any data inconsistencies during the transition. To ensure a seamless migration, they turned to Datafold for its data validation capabilities.

Datafold provided a solution that automated data diff validations across raw source data, business logic, and reporting outputs. By running over 15,000 individual data diffs, Datafold replaced a manual, error-prone process and allowed the team to confirm data parity in minutes instead of hours. This implementation saved FanDuel more than six months of engineering time, including 3-4 days saved on each complex regulatory report, and ensured flawless operations throughout the entire migration.
