Data science Migration to Foundry

Challenge  

• Onboarding a team of 12 data scientists accustomed to Databricks and Azure onto Palantir Foundry while maintaining existing workflows 
• Adapting GPU-based workloads for model training within Foundry was required
• Aligning the team with Foundry’s unique capabilities without disrupting productivity was crucial

Solution  

• Collaborated with Palantir to optimize Foundry’s GPU provisioning for efficient model training
• Created comprehensive documentation and provided targeted upskilling on relevant Foundry features
• Delivered a detailed migration strategy report outlining best practices and demonstrating Foundry's advantages for ML use cases

Results  

• Successfully onboarded the entire data science team to Palantir Foundry, leading to the decommissioning of Azure and Databricks for their workflows and significant cost savings
• Unified the organization’s tech stack for machine learning
• Enhanced operational efficiency and aligned the team with the broader data strategy
