Case Study: Foursquare Centralizes 9,300+ Data Assets and Speeds Pipeline Development with Astronomer’s Astro

Foursquare reduces data access time 90% with Astronomer, Inc.

Foursquare, a location technology company, faced a fragmented data orchestration landscape that hindered visibility and productivity. Their engineering teams struggled with self-hosted and homegrown tools, leading to scalability issues and slow pipeline development. To unify its data ecosystem, Foursquare partnered with vendor Astronomer, Inc. and adopted its Astro platform.

The solution from Astronomer centralized orchestration on Astro, providing a robust control plane with improved alerting and developer tooling. This resulted in Foursquare orchestrating over 9,300 data assets, achieving a fivefold increase in pipeline development speed, and reducing data discovery and access time by 90 percent.
