Abstract

Accessing data across a multitude of data stores is extremely fragile and complicated. To address this issue, we built a unified data processing platform at PayPal called Gimel. In this short talk I will introduce you to Gimel's compute platform and data platform and give an overview of how PayPal's data scientists, analysts and developers are taking advantage of Gimel using GSQL and PayPal Notebooks.
