Socure is one of the leading providers of digital identity verification and fraud solutions. Socure’s data science environment includes a streaming pipeline called Transaction ETL (TETL), built on OSS Apache Spark running on Amazon EKS. TETL ingests and processes data volumes ranging from small to large datasets while maintaining high-throughput performance. In this post, we show how Socure was able to achieve 50% cost reduction by migrating the TETL streaming pipeline from self-managed spark to Amazon EMR serverless.
