Project Horizon: Exploring Big Data
John Garrod, Software Engineer, Palantir
Will Barley, Forward Deployed Engineer, Palantir
Project Horizon began as an internal Palantir skunkworks project to build an Object Explorer. Built on the Palantir platform, Horizon powers top-down “haystack to needle” analysis on vast quantities of data to find even the unknown unknowns. Knowing what you’re looking for when you start is no longer a requirement; exploring interactively until you “know it when you see it” is no longer a dream. Horizon is a cloud technology – infinitely scalable on commodity hardware – and is driving previously impossible analysis in the realms of cyber, financial, oversight, and SIGINT investigation on billion and trillion-scale datasets. Presented by one of the engineers who built it, this presentation offers a unique look into Palantir’s culture of continuous innovation and the shape of future generations of the Palantir Government platform.
