DATA LAKE OFFLOAD
Build a lake without Spark
Materialize models to S3, GCS, or Azure as Parquet or CSV. Build a data lake from any source without Spark infrastructure, EMR clusters, or Databricks workspaces. DVT + Sling handles the heavy lifting.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
A media company exports cleaned analytics tables from PostgreSQL to S3 as Parquet. Downstream teams query with Athena or Trino. No Spark cluster needed.
DATA FLOW
WHAT ENABLES THIS
BUCKET STORAGES →

SEEDS TO BUCKETS →
dvt seed --target s3_lake loads files straight into the lake as parquet
PYTHON MODELS →
API and ML outputs land in the lake through the same pipeline
