Here at Sync we are passionate about optimizing cloud infrastructure for Apache Spark workloads. One question we receive a lot is “Do Graviton instances help lower costs?” For a little background information, AWS built their own processors which promise to be a “major leap” in performance. Specifically for Spark on EMR, AWS published a report

The Situation Let’s say you’re a data engineer and you want to run your data/ML Spark job on AWS as fast as possible. You want to avoid slow Apache Spark performance. After you’ve written your code to be as efficient as possible, it’s time to deploy to the cloud. Here’s the problem, there are over

Here at Sync, we are passionate about optimizing data infrastructure on the cloud, and one common point of confusion we hear from users is what kind of worker instance size is best to use for their job? Many companies run production data pipelines on Apache Spark in the elastic map reduce (EMR) platform on AWS.

As many previous blog posts have reported, tuning and optimizing the cluster configurations of Apache Spark is a notoriously difficult problem. Especially when a data engineer needs to lower costs or accelerate runtimes on platforms such as EMR or Databricks on AWS, tuning these parameters becomes a high priority. Here at Sync, we will experimentally

Here at Sync we are always trying to learn and optimize complex cloud infrastructure, with the goal to help more knowledge to the community. In our previous blog post we outlined a few high level strategies companies employ to squeeze out more efficiency in their cloud data platforms. One very popular response from mid-sized to
