Sync Computing

Sync Computing offers an AI-powered compute optimization solution called Gradient, designed to help organizations reduce cloud costs and meet runtime service-level agreements (SLAs) for their data processing jobs. 

The company's core technology uses advanced machine learning algorithms to automatically optimize cloud resources, particularly for Apache Spark jobs running on platforms like AWS EMR and Databricks. Gradient leverages the Sync Autotuner engine to analyze workloads and provide performance predictions for varying configurations, which then can be reviewed on Sync Project. Moreover, Gradient optimizes fixed and autoscaling clusters, while its continuous monitoring function monitors cluster metrics and delivers insights on optimization opportunities to lower Databricks costs and achieve run time goals without code changes.

Sync operates a consumption-based sales model, with pricing based on core-hours.
