Akshay Wadia, et al, introduce a new open source tool:
Data scientists are not always equipped with the requisite engineering skills to deploy robust code to a production job execution and scheduling system. Yet, forcing reliance on data platform engineers will impede the scientists’ autonomy. If only there was another way.
Today we’re excited to introduce Flotilla, our latest open source project. Flotilla is a human friendly service for task execution. It allows you to focus on the work you’re doing rather than how to do it. In other words, Flotilla takes the struggle out of defining and running containerized jobs.
It looks like an interesting service.
