sparklyr is an R package that provides seamless interfacing with Apache Spark clusters—either local or remote—while letting users write code in familiar R paradigms. It supplies a dplyr-compatible backend, Spark machine learning pipelines, SQL integration, and I/O utilities to manipulate and analyze large datasets distributed across cluster environments.

brms is an R package by Paul Bürkner which provides a high-level interface for fitting Bayesian multilevel (i.e. mixed effects) models, generalized linear / non-linear / multivariate models using Stan as the backend. It allows R users to specify complex Bayesian models using formula syntax similar to lme4 but with far more flexibility (distributions, link functions, hierarchical structure, nonlinear terms, etc.). It supports model diagnostics, posterior predictive checking, model comparison, custom priors, and advanced features such as distributional regression.
