Gaining insights from our data with Blossom
Blossom provides a middleware to run any data flow task on different platforms.
PROSI 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.
CONSI would like to be provided with better documentation

Federated ML and Data Migration
Simple, easy and pretty rock solid. Unique in the market
PROSIt'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.
CONSIt 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
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.
CONSThe 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
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.
CONSBetter documentation would ease deployment.
