seaborn VS Flask

If you are doing data analysis I don't think any of the 3 pieces of software you mentioned are going to be that helpful.

I see these products as tools for data visualization and reporting i.e. presenting prepared datasets to users in a visually appealing way. They aren't as well suited for serious analytics.

I can't comment on Superset or Tableau but I am familiar with Power BI (it has been rolled out across my org), the type of statistics you can do with it are fairly rudimentary. If you need to do any thing beyond summarizing (counts, averages, min, max etc). It is not particularly easy.

For data analysis I use SAS or R. This software allows you do things like multivariate regression, timeseries forecasting, PCA, Cluster analysis etc. There is also plotting capability.

Both these products are kind of old school, I've been using them since early 2000's, the "new school" seems to be Python. Pretty much all the recent data science people in my organization use Python. Particularly Pandas and libraries like Seaborn (https://seaborn.pydata.org/).

The "power" users of Power BI in my organization tend to be finance/HR people for use cases like drill down into cost figures or Interactively presenting KPI's and other headline figures to management things like that.

It's referring to the seaborn library (https://seaborn.pydata.org/), a Python library for data visualization (built on top of matplotlib).

While it’s not perfect and it’s not ggplot2, Seaborn is definitely a big improvement over bare matplotlib. You can still use matplotlib to modify the plots it spits out if you want to but the defaults are pretty good most of the time.

Seaborn Documentation

You've done a great job presenting this. Maybe you already know, but seaborne is an extension of matplotlib that makes it pretty easy to "beautify" matplotlib charts

I'm sure that your package is great, but seaborn will soon support the interchange protocol and will work relatively seamlessly with polars. https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn/pull/3340

I'd suggest Flask or some of the smaller projects in the Pallets ecosystem:

https://github.com/pallets/flask

#!/usr/bin/python # # https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/3.0.x/installation/ # from flask import Flask, jsonify, request contacts = [ { "id": "1", "firstname": "Lorem", "lastname": "Ipsum", "email": "[email protected]", }, { "id": "2", "firstname": "Mauris", "lastname": "Quis", "email": "[email protected]", }, { "id": "3", "firstname": "Donec Purus", "lastname": "Purus", "email": "[email protected]", } ] app = Flask(__name__, static_url_path='', static_folder='public',) @app.route("/contact//save", methods=["PUT"]) def save_contact(id): data = request.json contacts[id - 1] = data return jsonify(contacts[id - 1]) @app.route("/contact/", methods=["GET"]) @app.route("/contact//edit", methods=["GET"]) def get_contact(id): return jsonify(contacts[id - 1]) @app.route('/') def root(): return app.send_static_file('index.html') if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True)

I was looking at all the big projects like numpy, pytorch, flask, etc.

I may use Flask-Admin initially to offload the "CRUD" operations to have an initial prototype fast but then drop it ASAP because I don't want to write a "flask-admin application" to fight against later on. If the application is mainly "CRUD", then Flask-Admin is suitable.

Now...

Would you do a breakdown/list of all the jobs you've done by sector/vertical and by function/role and by application functionality?

In the lab to follow, we will be setting up an end-to-end DevOps workflow for a Flask microservice with GitHub Actions, using a self-managed custom runner for maximal control over the pipeline execution environment and automating deployments to a local Kubernetes cluster. Furthermore, we will construct separate pipelines for our "development" and "production" environments to further elaborate on the concepts of continuous deployment and delivery.

Flask Micro web Framework: You will use Flask to build a Flask web application.

In an earlier post I mentioned a bunch of Open Source web applications. Let's now focus on the ones written in Python using Flask the light-weight web framework.
