Jupyter Notebooks in production

Tuesday 9 May 2023 18:00

Jupyter Notebooks are a valuable tool for exploring data, but deploying them to production can be difficult. While there are products like Databricks that offer Jupyter-like interfaces and workflows, they can be expensive for small teams or specific use cases. In this meetup, we will explore two DIY solutions for managing Jupyter Notebooks that are affordable and suitable for small teams.
