I know, but afaik you can deploy Foundry also on Prem using Apollo, so that should not be a show stopper. edit: who am I telling this ;)

Not sure if you have actually used Foundry, but I consider it insanely powerful and well built.

There is a fairly recent demo of Maven Smart System, which is the military product offering on top of Gotham (their government product) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrtDgoqWmgM The commercial product, Foundry, is very we

I will never understand how people honestly think that there is a such a thing as a central DB. Do you really think that Gov Agencies from all over the world deploy Gotham just connected to the internet without controlling inflow / out

Yeah, but Foundry is so ahead, not seeing DataSphere competing there honestly. The only reason is, you already are on SAP and don't want a second system. Also the engineering / product culture @Palantir is diametrically opposed to

The problem that this article has is essentially this: > Thiel by contrast is profiting from the use of AI weapons targeting systems used in the Ukraine war and the genocide in Gaza. Thiel is IMO not doing this for profit. He is deeply i

You were talking about data engineering. If you do not write tests as a data engineer what are you doing then? Just hoping that you don't fuck up editing a 1000 > line SQL script? If you use Athena you still have to worry about shuf

That is a false dichotomy. You can use SQL tools but still have to choose the instance type. Especially when considering testability and composability, using a DataFrame API inside regular languages like Python is far superior IMO.

Love it! Still don't get why one of the biggest player in the space, Databricks is overinvesting in Spark. For startups, Polars or DuckDB are completely sufficient. Other companies like Palantir already support bring your own compute.

I would love to have a React Copilot that has access to the console, network logs, the actual html elements, computed styling etc. + my code. This would be such a game-changer. I am also convinced that monorepos will become the de facto sta

Its the same if you sell B2B software and have to offer SSO to your customers. Every auth provider like Auth0, Clerk, WorkOS etc. increases their prices tremendously if you require SSO...

its pretty obvious you have neither used foundry nor gotham.

I dont get it. Foundrys documentation is completely public, you can even sign up for the dev tier and try it out. It is not secretive at all. If there is one word to describe their products it would be ontology and literally no one has ment

I used to be a big fan of the platform because back in 2020 / 2021 it really was the only reasonable choice compared to AWS / Azure / Snowflake for building data platforms. Today it suffers from feature creep and too many piv
