How a data processing problem at Lyft became the basis for Eventual
Eventual originated from a data processing challenge encountered by Lyft engineers working with self-driving cars, which generate vast amounts of unstructured multimodal data—including 3D scans, images, text, and audio. Lyft lacked a unified tool to efficiently process these diverse data types, forcing engineers to rely on a complex and unreliable patchwork of open source solutions. Sidhu, Eventual’s CEO, and his co-founder Chia developed an internal multimodal data processing tool at Lyft, which inspired the creation of Eventual after Sidhu noticed demand for similar solutions during job interviews. Eventual’s flagship product, Daft, is a Python-native open source engine designed to process various data modalities quickly and reliably, aiming to revolutionize unstructured data infrastructure much like SQL did for tabular data. Founded in early 2022, before the widespread awareness of the multimodal data infrastructure gap and the rise of ChatGPT, Eventual has since gained traction across multiple industries beyond autonomous vehicles, including robotics, retail tech
