Why We Switched from Spark to Dask

Steppingblocks is a big data analytics company that provides workforce and education analytics on over 130 million individuals in the U.S to universities, employers, and government agencies. Join us for a conversation with Sébastien Arnaud, Chief Technology & Data Officer at Steppingblocks, and discover how he handled an ever-growing amount of data with a small but mighty team.

  • Steppingblocks’ unique big data offering to clients
  • How they managed to scale quickly in a post-pandemic market where hiring is difficult
