gooddata-python-sdk VS Pandas

Our product contains a Headless BI engine where you can connect any application, data platform, or visualization tool to the engine’s semantic layer and consume the same consistent analytics anywhere. Connecting to a semantic layer with the help of GoodData Python libraries is very straightforward! GoodData Pandas allows creating pandas series and data frames from the computations done against a semantic model in GoodData.CN. As mentioned above, imagine you have a database with many tables, and you want to get a data frame consisting of columns from various joined tables. Usually, you have to do many joins manually in SQL before getting the desired data frame in Pandas. But if you connect the database to GoodData.CN, you can forget joins — with the help of a semantic model and GoodData Pandas, you will get your desired data frame with much less hassle. Just for demonstration, compare the two following code snippets. The first one is just pure pandas:

To follow this article, you can download GoodData Python SDK, which contains a docker-compose file, and run the following command in the root folder:

Python is a natural fit for serverless development. It boasts a vast array of libraries, including Powertools for AWS and robust libraries for data engineers. Its versatility and excellent developer experience make it a top choice for serverless projects, offering a seamless and enjoyable development experience.

In data analysis, managing the structure and layout of data before analyzing them is crucial. Python offers versatile tools to manipulate data, including the often-used Pandas reset_index() method.

Dash is a Python framework that enables you to build interactive frontend applications without writing a single line of Javascript. Internally and in projects we like to use it in order to build a quick proof of concept for data driven applications because of the nice integration with Plotly and pandas. For this post, I'm going to assume that you're already familiar with Dash and won't explain that part in detail. Instead, we'll focus on what's necessary to make it run serverless.

there is pull request to integrate in both pydantic extra types and into pandas cose [1]

Last year I worked through the challenges using VisiData, Datasette, and Pandas. I walked through my thought process and solutions in a series of posts.

pandas: A library for data analysis in Python

Data analysis involves scrutinizing datasets for class imbalances or protected features and understanding their correlations and representations. A classical tool like pandas would be my obvious choice for most of the analysis, and I would use OpenCV or Scikit-Image for image-related tasks.
