“What is the relationship like between your team and the data scientists?” This is, without a doubt, the question I’m most frequently asked when conducting i...
Large-scale, distributed compute framework migrations are not for the faint of heart. There are backwards-compatibility constraints to maintain, performance expectations to meet, scalability limits to overcome, and the omnipresent risk of introducing breaking changes to production. This all becomes especially…
