Why use Onehouse?

Onehouse's compute runtime runs Spark on your own EKS clusters, with adaptive autoscaling and queue-based resource management instead of EMR's generic Spark clusters. Drop-in replacement for your existing EMR jobs.

Measurable Savings

Point EMR Spark jobs to Onehouse Compute Runtime (OCR) with Quanton for 60%+ lower Spark infra cost and optimized performance.

Adaptive Autoscaling

Serverless, adaptive scaling with queues and resource isolation across workloads—instead of basic OSS scaling that leaves you paying for idle nodes.

Faster Data Pipelines

Quanton’s lakehouse-optimized, storage-aware execution delivers 3.5x better price/performance than EMR Serverless, and jobs run up to 3x faster.

Hands-Free Table Optimization

Automated, asynchronous compaction, clustering, and cleaning for Apache Iceberg™, Delta, and Apache Hudi™, yielding 2–10x faster queries—with no inline write bottlenecks.

Open & Interoperable

Work within and outside AWS. Multi-catalog sync and multi-format support—never stuck in a single vendor, catalog, or format. Query from EMR, Trino/Presto, Snowflake, and more.

Already Enterprise-Ready

Run in your VPC with SOC2/PCI compliance. Keep your data secure, open, and under your control.

Find Your Own EMR Spark Savings Opportunities

Not sure where your EMR budget is going? The free Cost Analyzer for Apache Spark™ makes it easy:
  • Install in minutes (pip install spark-analyzer)
  • Point it at your EMR Spark History Server
  • Get a detailed Excel report on bottlenecks, idle compute, and savings opportunities
In our analyses of EMR workloads, teams consistently uncover 30–70% wasted compute and see paths to 60%+ cost reductions.

1
Analyze your EMR jobs.
Run Cost Analyzer against your EMR history server to quantify idle compute and predicted savings with Quanton.
2
Point your EMR jobs to Quanton.
Use the same spark-submit commands and artifacts you already run.
3
Quanton takes over.
Storage-aware execution accelerates extract, transform, and load—not just the transform stage.
4
Tables stay optimized.
Background compaction, clustering, and cleaning keep reads fast.
5
Glue + Multi-catalog sync.
Glue, Unity, Snowflake—metadata stays in lock-step automatically.
