Amazon EMR Valuable Features
The product has affordable pricing. We can integrate it easily with multiple open-source platforms.
View full review »In the main application, we use Hive, Spark, and Flink, and there are some additional small tools. We have to do this job inside EMR itself and run from Airflow. We also use a service from Amazon, and we manage jobs through Airflow. There's lots of scheduling, et cetera, that happens. Before, we used Jenkins. Now, we also integrate from Jenkins to Airflow and its processes. It's easier to have everything connected via Amazon.

One of the valuable features about this solution is that it's managed services, so it's pretty stable, and scalable as much as you wish. It has all the necessary distributions. With some additional work, it's also possible to change to a Spark version with the latest version of EMR. It also has Hudi, so we are leveraging Apache Hudi on EMR for change data capture, so then it comes out-of-the-box in EMR.
View full review »The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions. You can do it very easily and quickly. It is a managed service from AWS Amazon so it removes a lot of the headaches of configuring the different environments for all the nodes in the cluster, and frees you up to do other things. You can use it. You can set it up in minutes and it's very straightforward.

Amazon Elastic MapReduce is an IaaS platform and is capable of processing vast amounts of data on the cloud. It can do data processing with data sitting on different machines distributed across the cloud. It is based on the underlying technology of Hadoop and Hadoop Distributed File System for doing distributed data processing. It is comparatively cheaper than setting up your own distributed hardware platform. It is designed to grow up or scale down as per the requirement of the task, and all this is done automatically, without any manual intervention. No IT infrastructure management work is required as everything is over the cloud and managed by the service provider.
