About Daft
Daft is a framework for ETL, analytics and ML/AI at scale. Its familiar Python dataframe API is built to outperform Spark in performance and ease of use. Daft plugs directly into your ML/AI stack through efficient zero-copy integrations with essential Python libraries such as Pytorch and Ray. It also allows requesting GPUs as a resource for running models. Daft runs locally with a lightweight multithreaded backend. When your local machine is no longer sufficient, it scales seamlessly to run out-of-core on a distributed cluster. Daft can handle User-Defined Functions (UDFs) in columns, allowing you to apply complex expressions and operations to Python objects with the full flexibility required for ML/AI. Daft runs locally with a lightweight multithreaded backend. When your local machine is no longer sufficient, it scales seamlessly to run out-of-core on a distributed cluster.

PySpark
PySpark is an interface for Apache Spark in Python. It not only allows you to write Spark applications using Python APIs, but also provides the PySpark shell for interactively analyzing your data in a distributed environment. PySpark supports most of Spark’s features such as Spark SQL, DataFrame, Streaming, MLlib (Machine Learning) and Spark Core. Spark SQL is a Spark module for structured data processing. It provides a programming abstraction called DataFrame and can also act as distributed SQL query engine. Running on top of Spark, the streaming feature in Apache Spark enables powerful interactive and analytical applications across both streaming and historical data, while inheriting Spark’s ease of use and fault tolerance characteristics.
