GitHub·medium signal

LakeSail's Sail framework is a 100% Rust-native computation engine unifying batch, stream, and AI workloads — compatible with the Spark Connect protocol but ~4x faster in benchmarks (up to 8x specific workloads) with 94% lower hardware costs. Ships with an integral MCP server for agentic AI integration. Built on Apache DataFusion, it requires no JVM and delivers instant startup with zero shuffle spill.
