Flex your Big Data muscles with Sparkathon: It's Raining Data, a big data hackathon for IBM Bluemix with $30,000 in awards and sponsored by IBM, Typesafe and the NYC Data Science Academy.

We recently published a white paper called "Fast Data: Big Data Evolved", by Dean Wampler, our traveling Big [Fast] Data Architect at Typesafe and author of Programming Scala. In it, we review the fundamental shift in recent year from what we call "data at rest" to today's demands for "data in motion".

Today, we have some exciting news for anyone interested in building Spark applications with the Typesafe Reactive Platform!
