Case Study: Klarna achieves 60% year-over-year growth and frictionless payments with Cloudera (Hortonworks Data Platform)

Klarna achieving frictionless payments with big data infrastructure

Klarna is a fintech that removes friction at the point of sale—letting customers pay without remembering card details and improving merchant conversion rates. To power these real-time services and support rapid expansion, Klarna needed a robust, scalable data architecture to ensure reliable, mission-critical data processing.

Klarna runs its heavy data processing on the Hortonworks Data Platform, which handles all core data transformations and scales with demand. As a result the company has sustained 60% year-over-year growth, successfully onboarded larger merchants and entered new markets thanks to a data infrastructure that "just works."
