Azure Databricks vs. Dask vs. python-sql vs. spaCy Comparison Chart

Dask is open source and freely available. It is developed in coordination with other community projects like NumPy, pandas, and scikit-learn. Dask uses existing Python APIs and data structures to make it easy to switch between NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn to their Dask-powered equivalents. Dask's schedulers scale to thousand-node clusters and its algorithms have been tested on some of the largest supercomputers in the world. But you don't need a massive cluster to get started. Dask ships with schedulers designed for use on personal machines. Many people use Dask today to scale computations on their laptop, using multiple cores for computation and their disk for excess storage. Dask exposes lower-level APIs letting you build custom systems for in-house applications. This helps open source leaders parallelize their own packages and helps business leaders scale custom business logic.

spaCy is designed to help you do real work, build real products, or gather real insights. The library respects your time and tries to avoid wasting it. It's easy to install, and its API is simple and productive. spaCy excels at large-scale information extraction tasks. It's written from the ground up in carefully memory-managed Cython. If your application needs to process entire web dumps, spaCy is the library you want to be using. Since its release in 2015, spaCy has become an industry standard with a huge ecosystem. Choose from a variety of plugins, integrate with your machine learning stack, and build custom components and workflows. Components for named entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, sentence segmentation, text classification, lemmatization, morphological analysis, entity linking, and more. Easily extensible with custom components and attributes. Easy model packaging, deployment, and workflow management.
