2025-03-09
A fintech startup tackled the challenge of managing diverse data sources and high infrastructure costs. Their initial platform, relying on Hevo and BigQuery, proved unsustainable. To overcome this, they built a new ELT-based data platform leveraging cost-effective S3 storage for raw data. They utilized Airflow, Debezium, Kafka, and dbt for data processing and transformation, Trino for querying, and Metabase for visualization. The result? A 70% reduction in infrastructure costs. This case study highlights how efficient data platform design and technology choices can drastically reduce expenses and improve efficiency.
