Data science Migration to Foundry
Executed a seamless migration of a data science team from legacy platforms to Palantir Foundry, unifying the tech stack and empowering the team with enhanced ML capabilities.
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
