Accelerating Enterprise Data Modernization: Automated Informatica to Fabric Migration

Migrating complex, legacy on-premises ETL architectures like Informatica PowerCenter to modern, cloud-native platforms like Microsoft Fabric is a notorious bottleneck. Legacy workflows, filter routing, aggregator states, and custom expression rules are deeply locked inside proprietary Informatica XML formats. Traditional migrations require expensive, manual re-coding and line-by-line rebuilding of pipeline transformations, introducing severe errors, prolonged testing timelines, and high development costs.

Within the FLIP product engineering pod, we architected a programmatic compiler. We engineered an XML deconstruction parser that deciphers mapping nodes, routing matrices, and transform definitions, organizing them into a standardized metadata schema. I built the code generation engine that took this structural schema and automatically translated the business rules into equivalent Power Query (M) code blocks for Fabric Dataflow Gen2, and T-SQL script snippets for warehousing optimization. We then leveraged Microsoft Fabric REST APIs to automate the remote generation of pipelines in the destination Lakehouse.
