Zalando has more than 62 million active users, and Hopsworks is scaling to handle the millions of operations per second required for Cyber Week peak loads.

“There is a perception that there is no competitor in Europe for high-end software platforms that support AI systems, but today we are pleased to report that Zalando is powering its best-performing and most demanding AI services with Hopsworks, a European-owned and operated AI platform,” said Jim Dowling, CEO of Hopsworks.
