AppsFlyer successfully migrated their data infrastructure from self-managed Hadoop clusters to Amazon EMR Serverless, reducing costs and operational complexity.
EMR Serverless dynamically scales resources in real-time, providing agility and high availability for AppsFlyer's massive data operations.
AppsFlyer's architecture includes Apache Spark, Kafka, Iceberg, and Airflow, handling 100 PB of data daily across various open source technologies.
The migration enhanced scalability, cost-efficiency, and operational simplicity, freeing up engineering teams for innovation.
AppsFlyer utilized infrastructure templates, Airflow integration, and solutions for permissions management to streamline the migration.
Custom Spark plugins and seamless cross-account permissions management were key in ensuring a successful migration to EMR Serverless.
AppsFlyer leveraged Spline for lineage tracking and Datadog for centralized logging, enhancing visibility and compliance.
Monitoring and observability played a crucial role in ensuring stability and efficiency for AppsFlyer's operations on EMR Serverless.
The transition to EMR Serverless empowered AppsFlyer teams to operate autonomously, focus on innovation, and achieve significant cost savings.
The approach taken by AppsFlyer can serve as a model for organizations looking to migrate to EMR Serverless for improved data processing capabilities.
