Amazon EMR vs. Azure Databricks vs. MXNet vs. Unlambda Comparison Chart

Amazon EMR is the industry-leading cloud big data platform for processing vast amounts of data using open-source tools such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Apache HBase, Apache Flink, Apache Hudi, and Presto. With EMR you can run Petabyte-scale analysis at less than half of the cost of traditional on-premises solutions and over 3x faster than standard Apache Spark. For short-running jobs, you can spin up and spin down clusters and pay per second for the instances used. For long-running workloads, you can create highly available clusters that automatically scale to meet demand. If you have existing on-premises deployments of open-source tools such as Apache Spark and Apache Hive, you can also run EMR clusters on AWS Outposts. Analyze data using open-source ML frameworks such as Apache Spark MLlib, TensorFlow, and Apache MXNet. Connect to Amazon SageMaker Studio for large-scale model training, analysis, and reporting.

A hybrid front-end seamlessly transitions between Gluon eager imperative mode and symbolic mode to provide both flexibility and speed. Scalable distributed training and performance optimization in research and production is enabled by the dual parameter server and Horovod support. Deep integration into Python and support for Scala, Julia, Clojure, Java, C++, R and Perl. A thriving ecosystem of tools and libraries extends MXNet and enables use-cases in computer vision, NLP, time series and more. Apache MXNet is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision-making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
