Accelerate the exit [ DataStage ]
Accelerate the exit [ DataStage ] IBM's DataStage is a bit like an old diesel engine : powerful, robust, but expensive to maintain, complex to configure , and not really designed for modern cloud architectures. To complete the picture, young computer scientists don't really want to get involved in it. The future of this ETL seems uncertain at present. Faced with this, the most commonly implemented option for DataStage migrations remains "copy-paste" (Lift & Shift) to one target or another. And here, three major problems arise: After 10, 15 or 20 years of development, DataStage flows look (perhaps ) like a huge "plate of spaghetti": technical debt, accumulated complexity... good luck. Migrating to "T&M" mode is long, it's expensive... and on top of that, it's uncertain. The chosen target technology, however modern it may be today, will sooner or later end up burdened with debt, inflationary li...
