TESTIMONIALS

Because we let Qubole manage the scaling of our clusters, we also have the ability to specify using spot instances, rather than just everything on demand, and we can tune that. That saves a lot of money. -Nathan McIntyre, Data Engineer, Ibotta
The savings from Qubole makes our data engineering team much more productive. Our data engineering team moved away from doing routine maintenance and management work to focusing on serving our customers’ needs and road safety. -Lei Pan, Director of Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure, Nauto
We are looking to increase our investment in machine learning-based products multifold, and due to our early partnership with Qubole, we have the data and infrastructure ready to enable that. -Barkha Saxena, VP Data Science and Analytics, Poshmark
We were able to scale up quite a lot on Qubole. The reason why is we are able to use Spot instances a lot more with Qubole than with other platforms. -Dan Peterson, VP of Systems Engineering, Neustar
