Alchemist
Tier One Analytics, Inc. (T1A)
$10,000
Alchemist transforms SAS Base programs, Enterprise Guide projects, and Data Integration jobs into PySpark, making it compatible with platforms like Databricks, Snowflake, or Microsoft Fabric. Its analyzers take stock of SAS assets, estimate the migration workload in Alchemist tokens, and outline the connections between jobs, datasets, and macros. The Code Converter takes the original source code, constructs a syntax tree, and utilizes specific patterns and templates to yield consistent results; it can also convert Enterprise Guide projects and Data Integration jobs based on their metadata. Users have the option to engage with the tool via its interface or API, whether through a hosted service or a private-network deployment, which can include air-gapped Docker setups. While Alchemist is efficient at converting code and pipeline logic, it does not facilitate the transfer of data itself. The complimentary trial allows access to a dashboard for an unlimited number of SAS assets without any time restrictions; however, it does not cover conversion or provide complete Analyzer insights. Paid options require a one-time licensing fee per kit; conversion costs are based on a pay-as-you-go model using Alchemist tokens, eliminating the need for a subscription. Additionally, users can expect ongoing support and updates to enhance their experience with the platform.
