History and Objectives
Jazz started as a research project on fast data processing servers led by Santiago Basaldúa at BBVA Data & Analytics that evolved into an analytical web server. In December 2017 the source code of the server and the R client was released under an Apache 2.0 license.
Current development
Jazz version 0.1.7 is the project released by BBVA, Jazz 0.2.x is the transition to a new architecture while keeping the server functionally equivalent to the original. The switch to the new architecture comes with Jazz 0.3.1, the first complete product that will be released for evaluation.
