ShareChat Reduces Cloud Spend 70% with Redpanda Streaming Data

SAN FRANCISCO , April 30 /Businesswire/ - Redpanda, the streaming data pioneer, today announced that ShareChat, India’s largest social media company, achieved a 70% reduction in cloud infrastructure costs with the help of Redpanda’s Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployment option. By leveraging BYOC, ShareChat maintained data sovereignty while achieving a much more efficient data architecture, saving the organization significant time and resources.

“Thanks to Redpanda’s efficient services, we’re saving millions of USD annually and are now able to operate much more efficiently,” said Arya Ketan, Senior Principal Engineer at ShareChat. “We are now scaling up new use cases on our event-streaming architecture without worrying about spiraling infrastructure costs. Redpanda is an integral component in our architecture, supporting highly critical use cases.”

After evaluating a range of options, the company selected Redpanda for numerous benefits, including:

Reduced costs and complexity: ShareChat not only significantly reduced its cloud infrastructure expenses, it also reduced operational costs by using Redpanda Cloud’s monitoring and alerting capabilities.
Improved scale-up/scale down: ShareChat needed to scale up its clusters in response to events in India, such as Diwali or Indian Independence Day, when they can experience upwards of 50% increases in traffic, peaking at more than 2 GBps.
Flexibility and control: Redpanda's BYOC approach ensures data sovereignty, allowing ShareChat to maintain full control over its data and comply with data protection laws.
Reliability and data security: Redpanda's Tiered Storage guarantees data persistence, while zero data loss and hands-off reliability engineering ensure a worry-free experience for ShareChat.

Redpanda’s BYOC deployment option is a fully managed cloud service that enables data sovereignty and dramatically lowers data movement costs by storing the user’s data and underlying security credentials on only the user’s cloud infrastructure. With BYOC, enterprises get a secure self-hosted environment with all of the benefits of a fully managed solution, including operations, monitoring and maintenance.

On Thursday, May 2nd at the Kafka Summit in Bangalore, ShareChat’s Vivek Chandela and Srijan Saket will give a presentation on how the company migrated to a streaming data pipeline for its ML models.
