Historically, Dask was the easiest choice to use (it's just pandas) but struggled to achieve robust performance (there were many ways to accidentally perform poorly). The re-implementation of the DataFrame API addresses all of the pain points that users ran into. We will look into how Dask is a lot faster now, how it performs on benchmarks that is struggled with in the past and how it compares to other tools like Spark, DuckDB and Polars. Florian Jetter is leading the Dask Engineering team at Coiled Computing. He is a long term dask core maintainer and is an expert in distributed cloud computing and data storage ⚡️ Lightning Talks: 1.
