The line up:

Martin Hanewald: Can whales fly? – Deploying analytical scripts with docker containers

Abstract:
In most cases the creative analytical process in modern data science involves scripting in Python, R or other languages. When moving from the exploratory phase in a sandbox environment to the ready-to-use deployment of a model one faces similar challenges all the time: providing the runtime environment, user-interface, access policy, REST-API and scheduling functionality. This talk proposes a general framework of deploying analytical scripts inside docker containers. The goal is maximum flexibility regarding platform (Linux, Windows, MacOS), location (cloud or on-premise) and tools (R, Python, Scala, etc.) without the need for major recoding.
