AWS Lambdas – Python vs Rust. Performance and Cost Savings.
Save money, save money!! Hear Hear! Someone on Linkedin recently brought up the point that companies could save gobs of money by swapping out AWS Python lambdas for Rust ones. While it raised the ire of many a Python Data Engineer, I thought it sounded like a great idea. At least it’s an excuse to […]
Data Types in Delta Lake + Spark. Join and Storage Performance.
Hmm … data types. We all know they are important, but we don’t take them very seriously. I mean we know the difference between boolean, string, and integers, those are easy to get right. But we all get sloppy, sometimes we got the string and varchar route because we don’t spend enough time on the […]
Ownership and Borrowing in Rust – Data Engineering Gold Mine.
As I started to use Rust on and off, more out of curiosity than anything, I discovered some specs of gold buried down in the depths. Some of the things I’m going to talk about, well … all of it, is probably fairly obvious to most Rust folk, but it’s enjoyable to learn what new […]
Replacing Pandas with Polars. A Practical Guide.
I remember those days, oh so long ago, it seems like another lifetime. I haven’t used Pandas in many a year, decades, or whatever. We’ve all been there, done that. Pandas I mean. I would dare say it’s a rite of passage for most data folk. For those using Python, it’s probably one of the […]
Using Rust to write a Data Pipeline. Thoughts. Musings.
Rust has been on my mind a lot lately, probably because of Data Engineering boredom, watching Spark clusters chug along like some medieval farm worker endlessly trudging through the muck and mire of life. Maybe Rust has breathed some life back into my stagnant soul, reminding me there is a big world out there, […]
Simplify Delta Lake Complexity with mack.
Anyone who’s been roaming around the forest of Data Engineering has probably run into many of the newish tools that have been growing rapidly around the concepts of Data Warehouses, Data Lakes, and Lake Houses … the merging of the old relational database functionality with TB and PB level cloud-based file storage systems. Tools like […]
