Case Study: Trulia achieves higher efficiency and lower costs for AWS EMR Hadoop workflows with Rackspace Technology

Developing Higher Efficiency with Lower Cost for Trulia

Trulia is a home-shopping marketplace that provides buyers, sellers and renters with detailed property, neighborhood and agent information on mobile and the web, including data on schools, crime, commutes and market trends. After migrating a prediction workflow from an on‑premises data center to Amazon EMR, Trulia encountered nondeterministic execution errors that were hard to troubleshoot and caused performance and reliability challenges.

Datapipe helped Trulia stabilize and optimize its data-intensive Hadoop prediction workflows on AWS EMR, tuning jobs and leveraging more efficient AWS instances. As a result, Trulia now reliably runs its EMR workloads with improved performance and reduced costs, achieving lower operational expense without sacrificing efficiency.
