Managed Service for Apache Spark

A fully managed data processing engine designed to simplify and accelerate data engineering and ML workloads.

The service is provided free of charge and is at the Preview stage.

Fast data processing

Thanks to in-memory processing and reusing data across multiple parallel operations, Managed Spark can process data for your ML pipeline faster than most big data engines.

Reduced complexity

Managed Spark streamlines your ML and data processing routines by handling server configuration and infrastructure maintenance on the provider’s side.

Cost-efficiency

Using Managed Spark simplifies compute provisioning and minimizes idle capacity, making it perfect for ad hoc data calculations and reducing your total data processing overhead.

Use cases for the service

Data exploration

Explore new datasets and easily check your hypotheses by getting quick insights before running full-scale data training jobs.

Data transformation

Extract, transform and load even petabyte-scale datasets to your ML pipeline with no additional complexity or long waiting time.

Data drift detection

Run various checks on your datasets to detect data drift and biases, improving your model’s accuracy.

How it works

Managed Service for Apache Spark helps prepare datasets for model training.

Service features

Serverless solution

Run big data processing without the need to configure and set up server environment manually.

Autoscaling

Handle extensive datasets without worrying about the limits of computing capacity and availability issues.

Comprehensive ETL engine

Write your ETL and ELT code right in the Spark environment to prepare data sets for your ML pipelines.

In-memory processing

Using in-memory data processing and caching makes Spark faster than most available data engines.

Simplified coding

Write in Java, Scala, R, SQL or Python, and enjoy Spark’s APIs, providing high-level operators that dramatically lower the amount of code required.

Easy management

Use GUI, CLI, IDE or Notebooks to access the Spark environment.
