Synapse to BigQuery Migration

Move your data warehouse off Azure Synapse Analytics and onto Google BigQuery, schema, data, SQL, pipelines and BI connections intact. A fully serverless analytics platform with no pool sizing, built-in ML and Gemini, delivered with zero data loss.

Synapse to BigQuery migration
Quick answer

Yes, you can migrate from Azure Synapse to BigQuery. Codimite, a Google Cloud Partner, moves your Synapse schema, table data, SQL workloads, pipelines and BI connections into Google BigQuery using the BigQuery Migration Service for schema mapping, data transfer and T-SQL-to-GoogleSQL translation. The result is a fully serverless warehouse with no SQL-pool sizing, built-in BigQuery ML and Gemini, migrated with a phased, zero-data-loss cutover. Synapse-to-BigQuery feasibility is MEDIUM, T-SQL and Azure-native pipelines need more remediation than Snowflake or Redshift, and we scope that honestly up front.

Why migrate

Why teams move from Synapse to BigQuery

Truly serverless, no DWU or SQL-pool sizing

BigQuery removes Synapse's dedicated SQL-pool provisioning and DWU scaling; you don't pause or resize compute to control spend.

Separation of storage and compute

Storage and query compute scale and bill independently, so concurrency grows without pool management and cold data stays cheap.

Built-in ML and AI

BigQuery ML trains models in SQL and Gemini-assisted analytics adds natural-language querying, no separate ML service or data export.

Native streaming

Stream events directly into BigQuery for real-time analytics.

Flexible pricing

On-demand (per-byte-scanned) or flat-rate/capacity pricing matches cost to workload.

Open ecosystem

BigQuery connects to Looker, Tableau, Power BI and open tooling, not just one cloud's BI stack.

What we migrate

What we migrate from Synapse

Synapse object Migrates to BigQuery Notes
Schemas & tables Datasets & tables DDL mapped to GoogleSQL types; distribution to partition/cluster
Table data & history BigQuery table data Bulk export (via Cloud Storage) + incremental sync
T-SQL queries & procedures GoogleSQL Translated via Migration Service; T-SQL edge cases remediated
Synapse / ADF pipelines Dataflow / Dataform / partner tools Re-built on Google data services
BI connections Power BI / Looker / Tableau on BigQuery Connectors re-pointed, reports revalidated
Roles & access IAM & dataset/column access Mapped from Azure AD/RBAC to Google Cloud IAM

T-SQL fidelity, stored-procedure coverage and pipeline rework are scoped during assessment and validated row-by-row.

Our process

Our Synapse to BigQuery migration process

  1. 1

    Assess

    We audit your Synapse workspace, SQL pools, data volume, T-SQL workloads, pipelines and Power BI dependencies, and confirm what's portable.

  2. 2

    Schema map

    We map Synapse schemas and data types to BigQuery datasets and GoogleSQL types, translating distribution to partitioning and clustering.

  3. 3

    SQL translate

    The BigQuery Migration Service translates Synapse T-SQL to GoogleSQL; engineers remediate stored procedures and T-SQL-specific constructs.

  4. 4

    Migrate

    Bulk data export plus incremental sync moves data while Synapse stays live in parallel.

  5. 5

    Validate

    Row counts, checksums and query-result parity confirm BigQuery matches the Synapse source.

  6. 6

    Optimize

    Partitioning, clustering, materialized views and pricing model tuned to cut query cost and latency.

FAQs

Synapse to BigQuery migration FAQ

Can you migrate Azure Synapse to BigQuery?

Yes, schema, data, SQL, pipelines and BI connections move into BigQuery via the BigQuery Migration Service. Feasibility is MEDIUM because T-SQL and Azure-native pipelines need more rework.

Does it translate Synapse T-SQL automatically?

The Migration Service SQL translator handles a large share of T-SQL; stored procedures and T-SQL-specific constructs are remediated by our engineers during validation.

Will there be downtime?

No hard downtime. Historical loads plus incremental sync keep Synapse live in parallel until each workload is validated on BigQuery.

How long does it take?

Weeks for a focused dataset; six to fourteen weeks for large Synapse estates, driven by data volume, T-SQL procedure count and Power BI dependencies.

What does it cost?

Pricing is scoped to data volume, T-SQL complexity and pipeline count. Start with a free assessment for a fixed quote.
