What we’re about
This is a meetup for Seattle / Eastside users of Spark (www.spark-project.org), the high-speed Scala-based cluster programming framework. We'll be rotating among locations in Seattle and Bellevue.
We'll also discuss other Spark and AI projects including spark-packages, MLflow, TensorFlow, Keras, etc.
We will include introductions to the various Spark+AI features, case studies from current users, best practices for deployment and tuning, and future development plans.

Eloisa Elias T - Talk: The evolution of data strategy and the ultimate battle.
Abstract: In this talk I'm presenting the decades long journey in how data strategies have evolved from Files->DB->DW->DL->DLH. Data has gravity, and where the data is, is where the applications are built and this is the ultimate battle. As a startup/company you want to control your destiny and innovate faster. For this you want to use open standards and open technologies because you don't want to be locked in some proprietary standard.Join Us at Our Next Events!
