Recorded at Rev 2 May 23-24, 2019 New York Day 2 - Case Studies - Climate Corporation, AWS The Climate Corporation provides a platform for farmers around the world to use best-in-class analytic capabilities to digitize their operations and optimize their profits. Come learn about Climate's journey from a scrappy startup to a mature company and hear how we grew our data science capabilities 10x, from supporting 20 data scientists to supporting 200 data scientists, over 2 years. As a new startup, data scientists were working on customized servers with a complex set of unstandardized libraries. Time and effort were lost to maintenance and overhead, with researchers spending 50% of their time maintaining and customizing research environments. Additionally, sharing work between groups was a significant challenge and versioning of models/data was done manually, with a high risk for error.
