Ville Tuulos, Principle Engineer at AdRoll, a company producing tons of big data, demonstrates how AdRoll uses Python to squeeze every bit of performance out of a single high-end server. They manage it with Numba, a new NumPy aware dynamic Python compiler based on LLVM, and thanks to Python, the system can provide a very expressive and developer-friendly API.
