In this AWS re:Invent 2023 session, Electronic Arts (EA) shares how they modernized their data platform using Amazon EMR. Alex Ignatius, Senior Director of Data and Analytics at EA, details their journey from a legacy Hadoop/Hive-based system to a scalable EMR solution. The presentation covers EA's challenges with their previous platform, including aging infrastructure, ineffective autoscaling, and unpredictable SLAs. EA's migration to EMR resulted in improved data processing times, reduced TCO by ~20%, and the ability to handle 2x data volume without downtime. The session provides valuable insights for organizations looking to modernize their data platforms, including tips on workload classification, migration planning, and post-migration optimizations.
