Case Study: LIQID reduces orchestration costs by 63% with Astronomer

LIQID cuts orchestration costs 63% with Astronomer

LIQID, a German fintech company with over €3.5 billion in assets under management, faced challenges with its expensive and rigid data orchestration layer on Google Cloud Composer. The high fixed costs, operational complexity, and lack of trust in data created a significant burden for its lean data engineering team. To address this, LIQID partnered with Astronomer to migrate to its managed data orchestration platform.

By implementing Astronomer, LIQID standardized its data pipelines and introduced cost-aware operations, including scheduled hibernation and granular infrastructure. This solution delivered a 63% reduction in orchestration costs, pipeline runtime improvements of up to 98%, and a doubling of compute throughput. Astronomer provided LIQID with a reliable and scalable foundation for its data operations.
