Case Study: Statewide Health System modernizes petabyte-scale data pipelines with Six Feet Up

Statewide rebuilds a 500,000-object big data pipeline with Six Feet Up

The customer, a statewide health care system, faced challenges in managing its complex and overwhelming big data pipeline that aggregated petabytes of data daily. Its existing proprietary tools were hard to maintain and scale. The system engaged Six Feet Up to rebuild its infrastructure with a developer-first, cloud native solution.

Six Feet Up redesigned and reconstructed the health system's entire cloud native big data pipeline, implementing a new stack featuring Airflow, Azure Data Factory, Databricks and Terraform. The solution simplified workflow processes, enabled efficient scaling, reduced costs and made hiring easier. The new infrastructure allowed for the redeployment of staff to patient care roles and will enable in-house genomic sequencing. Developers gave the new, highly automated stack positive reviews for its user-friendliness and reliability.
