SnowConvert for PySpark Technical Specifications

The migration experts at Mobilize.Net are available to transfer Apache Spark Python code (and any proprietary scripts) over to Snowflake. Specifically:

• Python functions utilizing the Spark API are converted to an equivalent that works inside of Snowflake utilizing the Snowpark API
• Spark SQL functions converted to UDF's in Snowflake SQL as either:
• JavaScript embedded in Snowflake SQL
• Snowflake Scripting

Note that the source to target code pairs were developed in partnership with Snowflake Professional Services and are continuously refined. Read more about Snowflake's take on using SnowConvert for PySpark for assessment on their blog.
