Hello community, my name is Artur, I am Senior Computer Scientist and I am following Daft for a few months now. I am using Daft with Azure Blob Storage and I am really, really, really, really, really impressed by the work @jay @Sammy Sidhu and the Daft team has done so far. I can’t wait to have an official Azure Rust SDK so we could use other Azure services from Daft. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Hello, I am great to join the community. I will say: Amazing DataFrame! Very impressive. More analytic engineers would find it attractive if there were full SQL support, similar to SparkSQL or DuckDB.

Hi All, I am Sr SDE in Amazon and am building the data and ML platform for my org. I was searching for a framework that can handle PB level of data with high performance and daft did a great job! I am joining the community to learn how the magic happens here and at the meantime looking for updates about upcoming new features so that we could move more of our Spark workload to Daft and Ray. At the meantime, looking forward to contribute back to the community when possible 😄

Hi, We are building a query engine agnostic lakehouse platform. Will explore Daft as a potential option for our customers in the near future.

Hi. Been a fan of daft (through blogs) for a while and excited to be here! Currently finishing up my Masters and my research is in HPC, and have contributed to Pandas before so this super cool. Hope to play around more with Daft and contribute to the codebase.

Hi . I am an ML Scientist . Feature creation pipelines consume a large chunk of my bandwidth. Love Spark. Yet always on the lookout for alternatives. Daft seems to be promising candidate based on my early explorations. Hoping my search ends with daft!

Hi, Building an easy and maintainable data analytics platform. Exploring Daft !!

Hey All, This is Selvaa and working as Lead Data Engineer. Exploring Daft to build production grade data pipelines.

I am a Solution Architect mostly focussed on Azure Databricks for ETL/BI Compute/ML. New to daft and exploring..

Hi everyone, I am Hongbo, who currently is Senior Staff Software Engineer at Archer Aviation https://archer.com/ Daft shows huge potential. Love contributing on open source, and have a personal research and development (R&D) lab at https://github.com/hongbo-miao/hongbomiao.com ☺️

Hey, I'm Zane, Senior Data Engineer at Groov. Loving Daft (after using Databricks/Spark) and really appreciate all the work done on it so far. Very cool! ❤️ 🙏

Hi folks, I'm Curtis, grad student doing research on OLAP workloads on Ray. Found Daft while benchmarking other data frameworks in Ray ecosystem and was fascinated by it's performance and easiness to set up. Very cool and looking forward to contributing to the community! ❤️

Hi everyone! My name is Palliyarai. I am trying to learn about data processing with video/image and found about Ray and Daft. It is easy to work with. One thing I am trying to figure out is that how the Ray project is related to Daft. If i understand this correctly, Daft leverages the distributed abstractions ( Actor, Job etc) provided by Ray to bring up the cluster in distributed setting. Is that correct? Looking forward to learning more from this community and contributing along the way. 🙏

Hi, Chris Snow from the UK. I work for VAST Data as a sales engineer, specialising in big data and AI. I'm looking at Ray and Daft integration with the Vast Database, an exabyte scale columnar DB.

Hello, my name is Danielson and I'm from Madagascar. I'm a data engineer, so I work with different types of data. During the last Delta Lake Communiti webinar, I discovered that Daft is a reference in converting data from a source to Delta Lake. As a result, I'm in the midst of discovering Daft in order to make the most of it and integrate it into my data processing pipelines. Many thanks to the community !

Hey everyone, I am Nikk from Stuttgart in Germany. I recently joined Databricks as a Solutions Architect. Before that I did my PhD Data Science in cooperation with Bosch and spent the last 5 years building a central Data platform with a bigger team. I see big potential in Daft and looking forward to support with it. Currently I am translating my Spark logics of my hobby Lakehouse module into Daft. So a lot of issues and PRs came up already. The speed compared to Spark is amazing though🔥daft party

Hi everyone, I'm Tejas, working as a Data Architect in Belgium. I've started looking at Daft/Ray as a replacement for our Dask distributed data engineering workloads. Daft/Ray looks like a really exciting combo. Also curious how this would run on Anyscale as they provide managed infra for Ray. Happy to be here to share and learn 🙂

Hi everyone, I'm a team lead now but spent about 10-15 years as a data engineer to data architect, based in the UK. My ambitions right now are to create simple isolated data product services using distributed infrastructure, likely containers, in azure and then "register" these in an overarching layer such as unity catalog. I see this last component analogous to an API management layer and not critical in the sense that a source aligned domain should be up and running without the need for anything else... I'm exploring data contracts heavily too and see this as the design of the eventual data product to be fulfilled. This very afternoon I'm going to do some simple experimentation in azure with daft and maybe blobfuse to link containers to some distributed data mesh storage. I've demonstrated to myself here I can make a cost effective scalable reporting infrastructure with streamlit, duckdb and containers, I just want to do the same with the engineering side too of the entire data product lifecycle! A lot to unpack but also a lot of ambition 💪 Nice to meet you all! Datagriff

Hi all, my name is Zhipeng. Currently I’m working as a Staff ML engineer at Adobe Firefly. Today I came across the post from Sammy on LinkedIn about building on Daft/Ray to process millions of commits on GitHub for hiring, amazed by it, and excited to explore more!

👋 Hey folks! I’m Rohit—I recently joined Eventual as a software engineer and I’m excited to be here. Over the past few years, I’ve worked on systems at places like Amazon, Pinecone, and Snap. I’m especially into all things databases. Also a fan of Rust, chai, and woodworking (when I’m not debugging!). Looking forward to learning from all of you and contributing where I can!

Hey everyone 👋, Srihari from marimo.io here. Been working w/ data (dataframes) for a while designing notebooks for various usecases. Came across daft while looking up things on narwhals.

Hi folks - Pat Patterson here, Chief Technical Evangelist at Backblaze. I've been doing lots with Iceberg and Backblaze B2 (S3-compatible cloud object storage) recently, and looking forward to "getting Daft" 🙂 👋 @ChanChan Mao 😄

👋 Hello! I'm AJ from Airbyte (also previously from Meltano and proud founder of Singer SDK 🤓). I build open source data products, previously a data engineer and DE manager. Just dropped in to say hello and learn more about Daft. daft bro

hey folks! Im Giridhar! I work at Microsoft. came across this project and was curious to try it out and learn more
