Looking to get feedback for a code-first platform for data: instead of custom frameworks, GUIs, notebooks on a chron, bauplan runs SQL / Python functions from your IDE, in the cloud, backed by your object storage. Everything is versioned and composable: time-travel, git-like branches, scriptable meta-logic.

Perhaps surprisingly, we decided to co-design the abstractions and the runtime, which allowed novel optimizations at the intersection of FaaS and data - e.g. rebuilding functions can be 15x faster than the corresponding AWS stack (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.17465). All capabilities are available to humans (CLI) and machines (SDK) through simple APIs.

Would love to hear the community’s thoughts on moving data engineering workflows closer to software abstractions: tables, functions, branches, CI/CD etc.

I'd love to see a 10 minute YouTube video of the capabilities of this product.
