Why we included this project

Fugue is for teams whose Pandas code has outgrown a single machine but who do not want to rewrite it for a cluster. It exposes one Python API that runs the same SQL, Python, Pandas, or Polars logic on Spark, Dask, or Ray, so you can prototype locally and scale up without maintaining separate code paths. The FugueSQL layer is especially useful for end-to-end workflows that mix declarative SQL with Python functions, and the transform() helper parallelizes an existing function by pointing it at a different engine. If you are standardizing how your data team moves from notebooks to distributed execution, this is a solid abstraction to evaluate.
