Expedia Group reduces data lake costs by ~50% with Alluxio

Expedia Group faced challenges unifying its geo-distributed data lakes across multiple AWS regions within its modernized data platform. The company needed to provide consistent and high-performance access to this data for various compute engines without resorting to costly data replication. To address this, Expedia implemented a solution from vendor Alluxio.

By implementing Alluxio, Expedia Group was able to federate its cross-region data lakes without the need for replication. The Alluxio solution provided a unified view of the data silos, which resulted in consistent high performance for data access. This approach achieved a measurable impact by reducing associated costs by approximately 50 percent.
