Why Quix?

Work in Python

1/3

Work in Python from start to finish

Experience a truly unified approach that keeps you in the Python ecosystem throughout the entire development process. Move seamlessly from data exploration in Jupyter notebooks to production-ready code, without tedious language conversions.

Faster feature engineering

2/3

Do faster feature engineering

Say goodbye to UDFs and SQL-Python mashups. Write sophisticated processing functions purely in Python using any ML or data science library you like. Optimize performance with unlimited vertical and horizontal scaling with no fixed limit on the number of processes.

Integrate ML models

3/3

Integrate ML models more efficiently

Eliminate the need to run your ML models behind REST APIs or in UDFs. Deploy ML models with the same one-click workflow as your feature calculation functions and run your ML models in the same environment as the rest of your pipeline.
