Government at all levels will need the tools to manage the data that will change how we govern. Apache Spark’s open-source distributed general-purpose cluster-computing provides a framework for that change that government stakeholders, policymakers, contractors and technologists should collectively engage to produce the best solutions for that future governing.
Apache Spark started as a research project at the UC Berkeley AMPLab in 2009, and was open sourced in early 2010.
After being released, Spark grew into a broad developer community, and moved to the Apache Software Foundation in 2013. Today, the project is developed collaboratively by a community of hundreds of developers from hundreds of organizations.
The team that started the Spark research project at UC Berkeley founded Databricks in 2013.
