Data science infrastructure

Interactive analysis depends on dataset size, working memory and reproducible environments.

An analysis workspace that can be reproduced

  1. 01

    Original data in persistent storage

  2. 02

    Notebook environment with pinned dependencies

  3. 03

    Memory budget for transforms and intermediate tables

Architecture decision

Plan RAM for the active working set, not just the input file. Add a GPU only when the analysis library supports acceleration.

Configuration requirements

Choose RAM for the active dataset, object storage for originals and a separate environment per project. Add GPU only if the analysis library uses it.
