Operational Impact
By moving from an on-premises Hadoop data warehouse to Snowflake’s elastic, scalable resource model, Rakuten gained additional computing power. This enabled them to maintain responsiveness to queries during peak demand periods, while only paying for what they used. | |
Now Rakuten can maintain flexibility to compensate for crunches, without paying excessively for operational or server overhead. | |
Because AtScale allowed Rakuten to move from Hadoop to Snowflake seamlessly, the team can now access their data faster and with more consistency. | |
Quantitative Benefit
As high-demand queries were shifted to Snowflake, there was an immediate 30% drop in load on the on-premises computing cluster. | |
Rakuten ran a test of 10 terabytes of data with and without AtScale and discovered that AtScale ran the process 14x faster and at 4x less cost. | |
