Case Study: Acxiom builds a multi-tenant data platform with Kestra

Acxiom powers a multi-tenant data platform for 50+ enterprise clients with Kestra

Acxiom, a global leader in customer intelligence, faced significant challenges with its in-house data orchestration. Their existing system could not meet the strict multi-tenant isolation requirements demanded by their enterprise clients, who handle sensitive data. Furthermore, they needed a solution that could integrate with and orchestrate their existing Scala and Python pipelines without requiring a complete rewrite, and they required a scalable, metadata-driven approach to avoid hardcoding logic for each customer.

Kestra provided the solution by enabling a hub-and-spoke architecture on AWS, where each of Acxiom's 50+ enterprise clients runs in a fully isolated environment with dedicated compute, storage, and secrets. Using Kestra's declarative YAML workflows and Terraform-based deployments, Acxiom empowered over 120 engineers to build metadata-driven pipelines that wrap their existing code. This allowed Acxiom to standardize its onboarding process and scale its Axiom Cloud multi-product platform with a single, consistent orchestration foundation from Kestra.
