Case Study: LY Corporation achieves faster, more scalable data management with Cloudera

Transforming data management with Cloudera

LY Corporation, a leading Japanese digital services company serving over 320 million customers across Asia, faced growing data bottlenecks, scalability limits, and strict compliance demands across its massive Cloudera-based data platform. With more than 100,000 tables and datasets, the company needed a better way to manage data ingestion, maintain integrity, and support analytics and machine learning at scale.

Working with Cloudera and Cloudera Professional Services, LY Corporation adopted Apache Iceberg, Kubernetes-based deployments, and Apache Kyuubi to modernize its data management and query infrastructure. The result was data delivery that is 10–12 times faster, improved performance and scalability, and more self-service data management for teams, helping them respond faster to regulatory and privacy requests without disrupting 24/7 pipelines.
