  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • cudf

    cuDF - GPU DataFrame Library

  • Perhaps the largest for package size is the NVIDIA developed rapids toolkit https://rapids.ai/ . Even still adding things like pandas and some geospatial tools, you rapidly end up with an image well over a gigabyte, despite following cutting edge best practice with docker and python.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
