Data Collab Lab | Scaling and Automating R with Databricks

Join the next episode of data collab lab with hosts Lee Blackwell and Franco Patano.

Details: While R is one of the most popular languages for analytics and data science today, it was not originally developed to work with large datasets and distributed computing systems. In this episode, Max Thone and Rafi Kurlansik will explain how to make the most of the R ecosystem with Databricks using Spark and MLflow. They’ll also discuss the benefits of working with R in the cloud by showing how to automate R jobs and keep costs under control.
