Apache Spark Managed Services for Performance and Cluster Reliability
Streamline Apache Spark operations with managed services that optimize cluster performance, reduce complexity, and support scalable analytics workloads.

Apache Spark Clusters, Tuned and Reliably Run
Apache Spark is used to process large datasets across distributed clusters, so teams can run batch, streaming, and machine learning workloads at speeds a single machine cannot match. Most organisations get Spark clusters deployed and jobs running. Fewer keep shuffle costs low, data skew under control, and cluster resources right-sized as job volume and complexity grow.
Geopits manages the operational layer of Spark environments, whether deployed on EMR, Dataproc, HDInsight, Kubernetes, or standalone clusters. That includes performance tuning, cluster sizing, job monitoring, and cost optimisation. Our team works alongside yours so Spark stays fast and predictable to run, long after the initial deployment is done.

Know MoreFrequently Asked Questions
What is Apache Spark used for?
Apache Spark is used to process large datasets across distributed clusters for batch processing, streaming, and machine learning. Teams use it when a single machine cannot handle the volume or speed the workload requires.
What does Apache Spark managed services from Geopits include?
It covers performance tuning, cluster sizing, job monitoring, and cost optimisation across EMR, Dataproc, HDInsight, Kubernetes, or standalone deployments. Everything is monitored continuously through GeoOps.
How is Apache Spark different from Databricks?
Apache Spark is the open-source processing engine itself, while Databricks is a managed commercial platform built on top of it with added tooling like notebooks and Unity Catalog. Self-managed Spark gives you more control and cost predictability, while Databricks trades some of that control for convenience.
Can Geopits help us migrate our Spark workloads?
Yes. We handle migration planning, cluster reconfiguration, and validation, so workloads move between platforms or to a new deployment with minimal disruption.
How does Geopits help control Spark cluster costs?
We review cluster sizing, job scheduling, and shuffle behaviour to reduce unnecessary compute spend. Clients typically see meaningful savings within the first quarter.
Do you support Spark on Kubernetes?
Yes. We manage Spark Operator configuration, dynamic resource allocation, and namespace isolation for containerised Spark deployments.
Can you fix slow or failing Spark jobs?
Yes. We diagnose issues like data skew, inefficient shuffles, and memory pressure, and tune jobs for faster, more reliable execution.
What is your SLA for critical Spark issues?
P1 incidents get a response within 15 minutes, any time of day. Our team is reachable by email, Slack, phone, and ticketing.
