Case Study: Arity improves transportation insights and cuts infrastructure costs with Amazon Web Services

Arity Improves Transportation with Mobility Data Using Amazon EMR and Serverless Managed Services

Arity, a transportation and mobility data company, was challenged by the operational burden of maintaining its streaming and analytics infrastructure, including Kafka clusters and related security, scaling, and troubleshooting tasks. To modernize while minimizing disruption, Arity worked with Amazon Web Services and used services such as Amazon EMR, Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink, Amazon Data Firehose, Amazon S3, Amazon Athena, and Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka.

Amazon Web Services helped Arity shift to more fully managed services, reducing the need to self-manage infrastructure and freeing teams to focus on core product development. The results were significant: monthly infrastructure costs dropped by 30%, cost per trip connection fell by 36%, and developers gained capacity to innovate faster, with Arity saying it can now solve customer challenges in weeks instead of quarters.
