Bits Bytes & Beyond - Streamlit & DS @ PostNL || BigQuery Deep-dive @ Increment


Details
🤖 Bits, Bytes and Beyond by Increment x Latitude
We're delighted to welcome all data experts to this special gathering of minds. Amsterdam has always been a hub for innovation, especially in the tech sector. Today, our city is home to thousands of Data Engineers, Data Analysts, Analytics Engineers, ML Engineers, and Data Scientists. Yet, despite this wealth of talent and interest, there's room for improvement in the quality of tech and data meetups recently. That's why we're here today.
🚀 Our Mission
This meetup is different. We aim to elevate the quality of tech and data discourse in Amsterdam, focusing on innovative technical content, real-world business applicability, and interactive sessions. This is not just another event to pass the time; it's a platform designed to engage, educate, and inspire all of us.
🙋 For Who
Whether you're a Data Analyst looking to delve into machine learning, a seasoned Data Engineer interested in the latest industry trends, a Data Scientist eager to explore advanced algorithms, or a Data & Analytics Leader looking to dive into actionable insights for business challenges—there's something here for you.
📣 This Edition
For our third edition we have gathered two bright minds that want to dive in to two separate cases.
1. Partitions in BigQuery - A Deep-dive | Mees Strooker - Co-Founder at Increment
Modern data cloud platforms, like Snowflake and GCP BigQuery, have ushered in a new era where data science and its applications are more accessible than ever. However, this convenience comes at a cost. Even top-tier teams struggle with spiralling expenses, inefficient data models, and stockpiles of unused datasets that add unnecessary costs. Increment was founded to tackle these challenges head-on.
In this talk, we’ll discuss partitions in BigQuery—what they are, how they work, and how to use them effectively. We’ll start with some basic theory and end with practical examples to showcase the power of using user-defined partitions.
2. Streamlit Deployment in PostNL’s Data Science Workflow | Daan Hiemstra - Senior Data Scientist at PostNL
At PostNL, data science stands at the core of operational excellence. Federated Data Scientists work with different tools to easily deploy and manage their algorithms. The company is now taking a significant step forward by empowering its data scientists with an innovative platform designed to streamline the deployment and management of Streamlit data science applications. This advancement enables data scientists to rapidly prototype with Data Science apps in collaboration with business stakeholders, fostering an interactive development environment.
Join Daan for an insightful talk on the "Data Science Portal" at PostNL, where we'll explore how they customize Streamlit to suit the company's specific needs and integrates this technology into their Data Scientists' user journey.
