is there a strong use case around passing data from a backend to a frontend, e.g. from pandas data frame on the server into a js implementation on the client side, to use in a UI? As opposed to data pipelining among processing servers.
- alisonkisk 6y agoNot as much because you are still paying the overhead of doubt shipping across the internet and through the browser.
- infinite8s 6y agoYes definitely. For example, the perspective pivoting engine (https://github.com/finos/perspective https://github.com/finos/perspective) supports arrow natively, so you can stream arrow buffers from a big data system directly to be manipulated in your browser (treating the browser as a thick client application). It's a single copy from network buffer into the webassembly heap to get it into the library.
