Case Study: Cars.com achieves agile cloud innovation with Wavicle Data Solutions

Cloud migration brings agility and innovation to Cars.com, strengthening brand experience

Cars.com, a leading digital marketplace for car shoppers and sellers, needed to accelerate innovation, reduce time to market, and deliver more relevant experiences while reducing the cost and complexity of its on-premises data center. To support its cloud migration journey, Cars.com worked with Wavicle Data Solutions to modernize its data and analytics environment, including its AWS data platform and related cloud services.

Wavicle Data Solutions helped Cars.com re-platform legacy systems to AWS, moving Talend to Talend Cloud, building a data lake, and shifting reporting tools such as Tableau and SAP Business Objects to the cloud. The team also optimized Python and Spark jobs for serverless execution, cutting job run times and Amazon EMR compute time, while centralizing data in Amazon Redshift and enabling real-time streaming insights. As a result, Cars.com gained a more agile, scalable platform that supports faster decision-making, improved personalization, and stronger dealer matchmaking.
