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
