Gravy Analytics is a venture-backed location intelligence company. In support of our data product and service offerings, we process billions of location data records against millions of place and event-related data objects that are created and maintained by Gravy. The data is handled by several sequential Spark jobs that are coordinated by an orchestration layer. To do this processing in a cost-effective manner, we use AWS EMR Spot instances. AWS Spot instances provide significant cost savings but present their own unique challenges. We’ll explore these challenges in detail, and review how we’ve addressed these and other technical obstacles that arise with sudden changes to our incoming data supply.
