【Online event Info】PayPay Growth Tech! vol.3

2022.09.14

On Tuesday, September 20th, 2022, TechPlay will host a recruiting event titled “Technologies Supporting PayPay’s Data Infrastructure – Challenges of the Data Management Department and DWH/BI tool technologies supporting a large-scale Product with 50 million users and over 3.6 billion number of payments – [PayPay Growth Tech vol.3”

PayPay, a “super app” that integrates not only mobile payment functions but also multifunctional services, has 50 million users, 3.66 million merchant(s) applications, and over 3.6 billion number of payments, and a large amount of data is accumulated daily.
Data utilization in such a huge data set can cause a variety of problems.

  • Tables created by some users are used company-wide before you know it.
  • Users on the business side do not know what they need and what kind of aggregation they are doing.
  • Wasteful queries and zombie queries are costing too much.
  • There is no place to inquire about Data Infrastructure among users or from users
    etc…

We will discuss the path from where two volunteer employees were originally analyzing and managing company-wide data to the establishment of the Data Management Department, an organization dedicated to the development and management of the company-wide Data Infrastructure.

The presentation will then delve into how the DWH and BI tools, which are essential components of a data analysis infrastructure, are used to solve problems that arise on a day-to-day basis.
PayPay uses Google BigQuery for DWH and Looker for BI tools.
What is it like in actual operation? We will also share with you the real voice of the company.

Please feel free to join us.
