Case Study: Indeed achieves petabyte-scale data lake modernization with Amazon S3 Tables

Indeed saves 10% on its data lake with Amazon Web Services

Indeed, a global leader in job matching and the world's top job site, faced significant operational challenges managing its massive, petabyte-scale data lake. After migrating its infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS) for resiliency, the company found that its legacy data format required excessive maintenance, consuming over 1,000 engineering hours annually and hindering innovation.

By implementing Amazon S3 Tables, a fully managed service for Apache Iceberg storage, AWS provided Indeed with an automated solution. This eliminated the need for custom maintenance applications and complex object tagging. The results were substantial, with Indeed reclaiming over 1,000 developer hours per year, achieving a 10% annual cost savings, and simplifying data governance across 18,000 datasets, all while sustaining 190,000 daily queries without disruption.
