Evolution of Yelp's Data Infrastructure to Streamhouse

page Evolution of Yelps Data Infrastructure to Streamhouse

Yelp processes large amounts of real-time and historical data to support search, recommendations, and user experiences. As the demand for quicker insights and faster decision-making increased, their old system fell short. This led to a transition to a unified and scalable Streamhouse approach.

 

Join Yelp’s engineering leaders and Ververica’s streaming experts for a discussion on why Yelp updated its data platform, the challenges they encountered, and the real-world effects of moving to a Streamhouse architecture. This includes performance improvements and better productivity for developers.

 

This event is ideal for data engineers, architects, and technical leaders looking for practical lessons from a major enterprise transformation.

 

On the webinar:

  • Discover the story behind Yelp’s data platform evolution. Learn why the shift happened, what challenges arose, and how the Streamhouse model changed their architecture.
  • See how a unified data approach allows for scalability, faster insights, and greater developer efficiency in modern data-driven organizations.
  • Ask your questions directly to Yelp’s engineering leaders and gain insights from their real-world experience.
