Big Data

Processing at a volume where the usual approaches stop working.

Overview

At a certain scale the architecture has to change rather than the hardware. We design for the volume and latency you genuinely have — distributed processing where it is warranted, storage formats and partitioning that keep scans affordable, and a cost model that does not surprise you at month end.

What the engagement covers

  • Distributed processing with Spark or its equivalent, sized to the job
  • Storage formats and partitioning chosen against real query patterns
  • Streaming where latency requires it, batch where it does not
  • Cost controls on compute that can otherwise scale without limit
  • Job tuning against measurement rather than against folklore

What you leave with

  • Processing that completes inside its window at full volume
  • Cost per job that is known and controlled
  • Headroom for the volume you expect next year
