How Wind Mobility built a serverless data architecture

We parse through millions of scooter and user events generated daily (over 300 events per second) to extract actionable insight. We selected AWS Glue to perform this task. Our primary ETL job reads the newly added raw event data from Amazon S3, processes it using Apache Spark, and writes the results to our Amazon Redshift data warehouse. AWS Glue plays a critical role in our ability to scale on demand. After careful evaluation and testing, we concluded that AWS Glue ETL jobs meet all our needs and free us from procuring and managing infrastructure.
