Introduction

Sail is a distributed multimodal compute engine in the composable data stack. It is built on top of the Apache Arrow in-memory format and the Apache DataFusion query engine. Sail delivers value from data at scale, no matter how and where the data is stored.

If you are already using Apache Spark, you can switch to Sail without making code changes, and get the benefits of a modern system programming language (Rust) and design principles tailored to the modern compute world.
