Data Mechanics
Data Mechanics (https://www.datamechanics.co) is a seed stage YCombinator-backed startup building a Cloud-Native Spark Platform focused on making Apache Spark more developer-friendly and cost-effective for data engineering teams. Our product is deployed inside our customers cloud account (AWS, GCP, or Azure), on a Kubernetes cluster that we create and manage for them.

We work with customers at a global scale and across various industries. The interest from prospects and the Spark community is growing fast, and we need help to turn them all into successful customers.
