New blog post! https://www.daft.ai/blog/end-to-end-distributed-pdf-processing-pipeline Every data team hits the same wall: PDFs. Mortgage processors analyzing thousands of loan applications. Law firms extracting clauses from million-document repositories. Healthcare systems processing endless patient records. Your OCR breaks on rotated pages. Memory explodes on large documents. Scaling means rewriting everything. Different tools for extraction, processing, embeddings—each failing differently. We made it simple. One pipeline: S3 download → Smart OCR/parsing → Spatial layout analysis → GPU embeddings → ML-ready Parquet. The same code processes 10 PDFs on your laptop or 10,000 on a cluster.
