How NextRoll cut costs by 70% switching from EMR to Coiled

Next challenges with their complex data processing pipeline built on AWS EMR, Spark, and Airflow. This setup created a major disconnect between development and production, leading to frustrating debugging experiences and overwhelming cognitive overhead for their small team. TheyRoll implemented a fully Python-native stack using Dask and Dagster. The Coiled solution provided a seamless, secure environment that mirrored their local development setup in the cloud, dramatically simplifying deployment and debugging. This transformation resulted in an estimated 70% reduction in costs. More importantly, it significantly improved developer happiness and operational stability, leading to a dramatic increase in experimentation and innovation.
