What It's Like To Work With Palantir's Foundry - An Intro To Building Data Pipelines In Foundry

What is Palantir?

And does it have a place in the data engineering world?

Thanks to @Codestrap I got the opportunity to poke at Palantirs Foundry

In this first video I connect to a BigQuery dataset and pull it into Foundry.

FTC Disclosure: I am working in partnership with Palantir as a Foundry ambassador!.I have access to a free Foundry Stack.

I don't work for Palantir. I just kept seeing videos about Snowflake vs Palantir and I wanted to dig into Palantir so I could understand the difference.

About me:
I have spent my career focused on all forms of data. I have focused on developing algorithms to detect fraud, reduce patient readmission and redesign insurance provider policy to help reduce the overall cost of healthcare. I have also helped develop analytics for marketing and IT operations in order to optimize limited resources such as employees and budget. I privately consult on data science and engineering problems both solo as well as with a company called Acheron Analytics. I have experience both working hands-on with technical problems as well as helping leadership teams develop strategies to maximize their data.

Cool video, thanks for the demo. I’ve been wondering for a while what palantir does and looks like haha
Keep it up !

[laurentruong]

Now I know what Palantir does haha. Thank you!

[tiberiuscoman]

To me, it seems very similar with what Microsoft is doing with Azure Synapse Analytics :). Everything in one place. They even have similar lineage tool with Purview.

Need more pltr info. is this better than the competitors and does it actually work better

[atrocitus]

can you show an example on how to setup a rest api call in the data connection.

[brunohung]

Hey man, good video, when is the next video coming out? Can't wait

[deemahdee]

Will you use other tools like Quiver and Workshop?

[bskucgf]

and do you like the software? is it so good?

How to get access to Palantir foundry platform for hands on?

[i-see-right-through-you]

I've worked with Palantir. It looks glitzy and easy and click click click, but its the type of thing that if you have to do anything thats out of the ordinary you have to bend their rigid "objects" into new shapes that they don't like. I'm pretty sure they bought all the "Apps" from different vendors because they all seem to have different paradigms - not a cohesive development environment at all. And the documentation sucks. Definitely mostly sad path here.

Notice how often he has to click around ALOT just to do something really really simple? And he doubts if he's done something right (or wrong) because even after doing the little thing he's demoing, its just confusing and a mess.

There is actually a code interface, but I remember assuming that I could loop a directory and act upon every object in the folder, but dig this, after spending a bunch of time working towards a solution with that assumption in mind, it turns out, no, you can't loop the objects in a folder. WTF? WShzt doesn't allow ypu to do that through their API or any other way?

"Hopefully this doesn't break." Lol love that quote. Exactly how I felt working with this piece of trash every day.

I was waiting for the "Today the video is sponsored by Ken Jee"

[vinodgujja]

Where is the ontology and data operating system they talk about?? Sap has this all in shop decade back and people understood the limitations. Its better to integrate best of breed

[gordonjohnson]

So pltr has steep competition in the commercial sphere?
Gotcha. TAM ~ tens of billions max.
Max future profitability ~ sub 10B
Dcf value today ~ 3-5B$
????
Might pass on pltr.

Not mindblown by this review. Seems like an overhyped stock
