Apache Spark

Apache Spark is an open-source distributed computing platform that is widely used for big data workloads. It was designed to be fast and efficient, and to provide a unified engine for a wide range of data processing tasks, including batch processing, stream processing, machine learning, and SQL. Spark is built on top of the Apache Hadoop distributed file system, and can run on a cluster of commodity hardware, making it well-suited for large-scale data processing. It offers a rich set of APIs in multiple languages, including Python, Java, and Scala, which makes it easy for developers to build and run applications on Spark.
