Case Study: BookMyShow achieves 80% analytics cost savings with AWS Glue

BookMyShow Improves TCO by 70 Percent on the AWS Cloud

BookMyShow, a leading entertainment company in India, needed to modernize a 15-year-old analytics environment that had grown into a fragmented mix of on-premises and cloud data stores, multiple tools, and over 40 TB of duplicated data. The complexity made it difficult for teams to share data efficiently, support analytics and data science needs, and control rising storage and processing costs.

Using AWS Glue as part of an AWS modern data architecture, BookMyShow centralized data governance with the AWS Glue Data Catalog and Lake Formation, built pipelines into Amazon S3 and Amazon Redshift, and used AWS Glue ETL jobs and crawlers to standardize and move data. The migration was completed in four months and delivered 90% storage cost savings and 80% savings in analytics spend, while improving scalability, security, and data access across the organization.
