With more than 14 million customers worldwide and more than 63 million domain names under management, GoDaddy is the place people come to name their idea, build a professional website, attract customers and manage their work.

It is a product of the Apache Spark-based analytics and ETL pipelines to get the insights of the customer data collected from Internet, machine logs and communication like voice and text.
