Main Talks
1️⃣ Yours Sincerely, Streamlit - Yash Sakhuja
Have you ever wondered if your data science and machine learning projects could be a lot better if you had an effective way to present them? If you feel that lacking expertise in web development restricts you from building data products, then Streamlit does the work for you. It simplifies the process of turning Python data scripts into shareable web apps without requiring expertise in web development.

2️⃣ Fleet Monitoring: Building a Scalable Cloud App with Django and Plotly Dash - Nick Thorne
I'll provide an introduction to the development of a train fleet monitoring cloud app using Django with embedded Plotly Dash dashboards. This will include insights into the limitations of Postgres and the rationale behind integrating a specialised database (ClickhouseDB) to scale for bitwise decoding, storing, and real-time fault scanning 1500 events per minute (or 750 million annually) on a single dedicated server. I'll delve into our deployment strategy utilising Docker, along with Grafana and Prometheus monitoring. Additionally, I will elaborate on why we bypassed COTS IoT offerings (cost!) and highlight why Django, Plotly Dash, Docker, and ClickhouseDB are a great tech stack for building and deploying data-heavy real time cloud apps.
