There are several benefits of such optimizations like saving on storage, faster query time, cheaper downstream processing, and an increase in developer productivity by removing additional ETLs written only for query performance improvement. Some of the optimizations are prerequisites for a high-performance data warehouse.

For ETL and other heavy lifting of data, we mainly rely on Apache Spark. In addition to Spark, we want to support last-mile data processing in Python, addressing use cases such as feature transformations, batch inference, and training. We use Apache Arrow to decode Parquet and to host an in-memory representation of data.
