How the Assessment Works

What does the SMA do to build it's assessment?

The Snowpark Migration Accelerator (SMA) builds a complete assessment of what is present in the source code.

As mentioned previously, this accelerator is not a glorified regex or find-and-replace tool. The SMA takes in a source codebase as an input, and builds a complete semantic model of the functionality in the codebase.

The assessment built by the SMA is designed to serve as a complete inventory of the files present in the original source code, and how compatible references to the Spark API are with the Snowpark API. This assessment not only gives you a good start on a migration, but it can also serve as an inventory of all the code you have in a given workload.

Among other things, the assessment outputs:

• Readiness score

• Inventory of all references to the Spark API with compatibility to the Snowpark API

• Inventory of all import calls (to third parties) in your code

• Detailed report with summary information across all collected inventories
