There's no doubt that local processing is a lot cheaper than the cloud for a lot of workloads.

That's a very interesting pattern--publishing "fake" (perhaps safe or anonymized) data online along with code to spur research and development then running the enhanced code locally on private (e.g., PII data) on local compute resources.

We hope Quilt packages can play a role to make that easier. The package serves as an interface and layer of abstraction between the code and the data so the same code can be run against the safe or private data.
