Gaining insights from our data with Blossom

Blossom provides a middleware to run any data flow task on different platforms.

PROS

I could execute my spark job on Flink by changing only one line of code. I also liked a lot the optimizer that can select the platform based on a cost model.

CONS

I would like to be provided with better documentation

Federated ML and Data Migration

Simple, easy and pretty rock solid. Unique in the market

PROS

It's an open source product, and pretty solid and stable. The simplicity to integrate - just add 3! lines into your _already_ existing code, and Blossom does the rest.

CONS

It is developer stage. Power Users will love the stack, but more occasional users need a few hours to understand the concept. And the documentation is pure developer focused, which needs to be improved.

Reason for choosing Blossom Sky

There is no alternative in the federated learning / AI space. We tried Flower, TF Federated - but always hit the data transport wall. Blossom solved this.

Blossom Review

PROS

What I like the most about this platform is its ease of use. One has to only express the business logic within its API, and then the platform optimizes for the underlying system usage. This way one does not need to implement system-specific details.

CONS

The initial configuration and deployment with different software versions of underlying system can be challenging. However the issues got resolved after communication. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to add support (connectors) for more systems.

Vendor Response

Thank you, we are working on a new interface to integrate computation frameworks more easily.

First tool that automatically chooses platform

PROS

Blossom provides a unique software that can automatically choose in which platform a task has to be executed to achieve best performance. It is also really cool to write your application code once and by changing only one line of code have it executed in a different platform (eg., Spark, Flink or standalone Java) regardless of where the data is stored.

CONS

Better documentation would ease deployment.

Blossom review

Blossom allows you to focus on your application as it handles where a task will be executed (Spark, Postgres or simple Java)

PROS

My tasks can be transferred between platforms with just minor changes

CONS

Support for SQL would be really helpful
