Datafusion. Probably one of the least-known yet most prolific Data Engineering tools on the market today. I have my thoughts on why, and that is what we are going to talk about today.

I want to do both technical and theoretical overview of Datafusion, that underdog, and talk about …

  • Who’s using it

  • For what …

  • Where it’s used …

  • Why it’s used …

  • It’s lack of general adoption by the Python hoard.

This is a topic that interests me to no end, the rise of an incredible tool, yet a lot of “failures,” if I may be so bold to call them that, in what we could call the DevRel (Developer Relations and Marketing) part of the technology.
