Snowpark Migration Accelerator: Optional Technical Discovery¶

What is Technical Discovery?¶

Technical discovery is an optional questionnaire within the Snowpark Migration Accelerator (SMA). With it, you can gather high-level information about your workload), which is a type of information that code analysis alone cannot detect.

Why is it important?¶

While code analysis can identify transformations and logic, it lacks operational context. To provide accurate migration recommendations and a relevant suggested architecture, the tool needs to understand details like:

  • Your technology stack (cloud platform, regions, tool versions).

  • Your data ecosystem (external sources, governance tools, ETL processes, etc.).

By providing this information, you can allow the AI assistant to offer a much more complete and accurate assessment.

How is this information used?¶

The answers you provide are linked directly to your assessment results and are used to:

  • Categorize your workload.

  • Inform the AI assistant.

Is it mandatory?¶

No. This feature is optional. If you choose to skip the questionnaire, the assessment and recommendation features will still function, based solely on the data collected from the code analysis.
