Next Gen Data Processing at Massive Scale At Pinterest With Moka

Pinterest kicked its creaky Hadoop system to the curb and embraced Moka, a shiny Kubernetes + AWS EKS platform, to crank up scalability and security. Graviton ARM EC2 instances, Spark Operator, and Apache YuniKorn unleashed a performance beast and sliced costs. They wrestled with memory monsters and JDK upgrades, snagging a 5% performance upgrade. Moka now commands 70% of Pinterest's Spark workloads. By year's end, Hadoop will be six feet under.
