At AGU I talked to NASA people about how agencies could better support open-source tools they rely on. I argued that our recent collaboration between Xarray and NASA ESDIS on xarray.DataTree was a good model to copy - read about how it happened here!

Completely agree - "in theory" we have the simple scalability of the cloud, but in practice it's often a headache, for no good reason, which prevents adoption by most users (including many scientists)

New Post: Cloud Computing is Broken matthewrocklin.com/cloud-is-broke… Investor asks: "What's next for Data/Cloud Infrastructure?" My answer: "Boring stuff. People struggle with basics." Cloud feels like MP3 players before iPod. In theory everything is good. In practice adoption is low

This is a huge deal! A massive feature enhancement to the whole stack, as well as a serious performance / reliability improvement. 🧊
