Amazon EMR on Amazon EKS is a deployment option offered by Amazon EMR that enables you to run Apache Spark applications on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) in a cost-effective manner. It uses the EMR runtime for Apache Spark to increase performance so that your jobs run faster and cost less. In our benchmark […]

Increasingly, a business’s success depends on its agility in transforming data into actionable insights, which requires efficient and automated data processes. In the previous post – Build a SQL-based ETL pipeline with Apache Spark on Amazon EKS, we described a common productivity issue in a modern data architecture. To address the challenge, we demonstrated how to utilize a declarative approach as the key enabler to improve efficiency, which resulted in a faster time to value for businesses. Generally speaking, managing applications declaratively in Kubernetes is a widely adopted best practice. You can use the same approach to build and deploy Spark applications with open-source or in-house build frameworks to achieve the same productivity goal.

Today, the most successful and fastest growing companies are generally data-driven organizations. Taking advantage of data is pivotal to answering many pressing business problems; however, this can prove to be overwhelming and difficult to manage due to data’s increasing diversity, scale, and complexity. One of the most popular technologies that businesses use to overcome these […]
