Summary

Bodo brings robustness and resilience to its customers' production deployments, enabling them to run without failure for months. Unlike Spark, Bodo's bare metal execution avoids software failures such as JVM errors and driver crashes. Additionally, Bodo's "clean engine" design allows for easy integration with Kubernetes, ensuring reliable recovery. The platform also leverages compiler-assisted checkpointing techniques to simplify the checkpointing process. By avoiding complex task scheduling systems and runtime libraries, Bodo reduces potential failure points, resulting in higher resilience without extra overheads. This approach enables developers to focus on solving business problems instead of fighting data infrastructure.
