Big-data processing optimization
via Big Query
Client
A thriving advertising platform startup, focused on enhancing customer experience and driving rapid business expansion by onboarding ten times more clients within the next year.
Challenge
The client’s existing infrastructure faced slow processing speeds, high costs, fragility, and maintenance issues, which hindered their ambitious growth plans and ability to provide an optimal user experience. Overcoming these challenges was crucial to achieving their strategic objectives and unlocking new opportunities in the advertising industry.
Solution
Our team collaborated closely with the client to develop a streamlined solution that addressed their infrastructure pain points while aligning with their broader business goals. We simplified the technical aspects by migrating and optimizing their existing mySQL queries into GCP BigQuery queries, which were then wrapped in user-friendly Python scripts. The solution was containerized using Docker and scheduled with Airflow for efficient processing and orchestration, ensuring scalability and growth potential.
Impact
The new approach resulted in a robust, portable, and accessible service that empowered the client to process and orchestrate data more effectively, in line with their strategic goals. Key improvements included:
- A 100x reduction in processing speed, leveraging BigQuery’s distributed computing power to handle large volumes of data efficiently and improve customer experience.
A 10x reduction in costs, providing a strong return on investment and freeing up resources for further investment in the company’s expansion. - Enhanced deployment and maintenance capabilities, thanks to the containerization and orchestration system, contributing to a more reliable infrastructure with reduced risk of failure.
- Improved data security and compliance, ensuring the protection of sensitive information and adherence to relevant regulations.
- The ability to generate valuable data-driven insights that can inform decision-making and drive business growth.
- Scalability and growth potential, enabling the client to pursue their expansion goals and better serve their growing client base.
Overall, our solution supported the client’s strategic objectives, addressed their infrastructure challenges, and unlocked new opportunities for innovation. The updated infrastructure paves the way for future advancements, ensuring the client remains competitive in the rapidly evolving advertising industry.
