About Eventual

Eventual is a data platform that helps data scientists and engineers build data applications across ETL, analytics and ML/AI.

OUR PRODUCT IS OPEN-SOURCE AND USED AT ENTERPRISE SCALE

Our distributed data engine Daft is open-sourced and runs on 800k CPU cores daily. This is more compute than Frontier, the world's largest supercomputer!

Daft is used at leading AI/ML companies such as Amazon, TogetherAI, EssentialAI, CloudKitchens and more. It makes ML/AI workloads easy and performant to run alongside traditional relational tabular workloads.

Today's “Big Data” data tooling (Spark, Trino, Snowflake) was built for a world of tabular data analytics. They do not generalize well to the needs of modern ML/AI data workloads. We built Daft to be the successor to these Big Data technologies along these core principles:

Python-native: Python is the native language of ML/AI and most of data engineering today

First-Class Local Development UX: Interactive development in a local Python notebook or script is where the magic happens

Multimodal Data Support: Modern workloads require support for operations on complex types such as long-form text, images, tensors and more

Heterogenous Compute (GPUs): GPUs are a requirement for workloads that perform model batch inference as part of the overall query
