On September 17, 2024, data science and engineering practitioners gathered at Impact Hub Zürich to attend our MiraiLabs workshop
Scale Your Analytics: Leveraging Apache Spark in Python and R
We’re happy to report that the event was a resounding success, bringing together a diverse group of people eager to expand their skills in large-scale data processing.
The workshop focused on introducing participants to Apache Spark as a powerful tool for scaling analytics beyond a single machine. Martin Studer, the workshop’s speaker, gave an introduction to various scaling options, explaining why Apache Spark can be a powerful tool to consider when scaling analytics. The workshop featured live demonstrations and showcased practical examples, which fostered active engagement and stimulated insightful discussions among attendees.
For those who attended and wish to revisit the material, or for those who couldn’t join us, we’re excited to announce that all workshop resources are available in our GitHub repository. Hopefully, these provide a valuable resource for anyone considering to leverage Apache Spark in their large-scale data processing endeavors.
The success of this workshop reinforces our commitment to fostering knowledge sharing within the data science community in Zürich. We look forward to organizing more such events in the future as part of our MiraiLabs group. If you would like to stay up to date with our events, join our MiraiLabs data science community on Meetup and receive updates when a new event is organized.
Thank you to all participants, and those who helped with the organization, for making this a memorable and impactful event!
