My organization has utilized Amazon EMR for about 45 days, and the overall experience has been great. We chose EMR due to our existing Amazon Heavy infrastructure, evaluating AWS solutions over external vendors. EMR provided more flexibility in cost management than auto-scaling groups, especially with its dynamic handling of node counts and mixing on-demand and spot instances. EMR addressed key business pain points: Firstly, it delivered significant cost savings. We reduced daily costs by 40-45% for a service previously spending on 100% on-demand instances, by implementing an 80/20 distribution of spot to on-demand nodes. This projects potential savings per month if all our Hadoop loads transition to EMR. Other teams have also started using EMR for heavy Hadoop loads due to its cost optimization. Secondly, EMR vastly improved our heavy reporting service for customers, which previously suffered from report queuing and throttling during peak morning hours. Our report response time improved dramatically, from approximately 30 mins to 2 mins. The system spins up additional nodes when reports are triggered and shuts them down during lean periods, preventing cost incurrence. This directly led to the retention of a significant FMCG giant customer in the US, a contract that could have resulted in over a 5% loss of our overall revenue, with minimal deployment effort. From an onboarding perspective, my prior experience with EMR made the process straightforward. AWS offers extensive use cases, design diagrams, and paid support typically responds within 2-24 hours. Customization was not a major concern, as EMR’s features and documentation meet most industry needs. EMR efficiently handles large-scale data processing, with configurable node limits and built-in fault tolerance. A caution regarding performance: for very large node during peak hours, it's advised to maintain at least a 50/50 split between spot and on-demand instances to avoid availability issues.
