Case Study: Paidy improves data operations and reliability with Prefect

Paidy unifies reporting and data workflows with Prefect across EKS and ECS

Paidy, Japan's leading "Buy Now, Pay Later" service, faced challenges with scalability and reliability as their rapid growth overwhelmed their existing cron job system for data operations. They needed a robust orchestration tool to manage configurable, scheduled, and ad-hoc jobs without introducing new, unsanctioned AWS services. The company turned to Prefect to address these core issues and provide a solution that various teams could easily use.

By implementing Prefect, Paidy gained a reliable job scheduler that allowed them to select the appropriate infrastructure for different workflows, such as EKS or ECS. Prefect became the backbone for their ETL pipelines, financial reporting, and key merchant reports, ensuring data was delivered to stakeholders on time. The solution improved synergies across Data Engineering, Science, and Analyst teams, preventing the need for multiple disparate tools. Prefect provided 100% reliability, unifying the company's data operations and becoming a key driver for their merchants to understand platform transactions.
