Product Updates
New Execution Engine
Our new execution engine provides improved container startup time and enables support for Spark Clusters (Preview). In the future we will support 1) Additional distributed compute (GPU, Dask, and Ray), 2) The ability to Zepl to run on any cloud provider (Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform), and 3) Remote / local execution where your data resides.
Spark Clusters Preview
Data scientists, analysts, and engineers can supercharge the processing power of their notebooks with autoscaling Spark clusters. Apache Spark is a lightning-fast unified analytics engine for big data and machine learning and is the largest open source project in data processing. Zepl users can now build templates for Spark clusters and easily attach those clusters to Zepl notebooks, allowing for much faster performance on complex analytical workflows.
