DeepSeek SmallPond: A Game-Changer for Data Engineers Seeking Lightweight Solutions
Why DeepSeek SmallPond is the New Contender in Data Engineering Frameworks
For an extended period of time, the data engineering toolbox has not been updated. The data engineering batch and streaming process is dominated by Apache Spark and Apache Flink, and there has been a lack of new and exciting frameworks.
With the impressive output from DeepSeek, checking on their data engineering framework is also interesting for data engineers. Then I found they have built a lightweight open-source project called SmallPond.
What is DeepSeek SmallPond?
A lightweight data processing framework built on DuckDB and 3FS. — From smallpond repository
DeepSeek SmallPond is a cloud-based platform that is intended to simplify the deployment of AI models, machine learning, and data analysis.
SmallPond leverages DuckDB, which is an in-process SQL OLAP database management system. As it is optimized for OLAP queries, it fits perfectly as a computation layer for building any data engineering pipeline workload.
In order to expand SmallPond to multiple clusters, it employs Ray Clusters, which enable the seamless…
