A Decade of Using R in Production

This is our first (online) event since we moved from California to Texas in July.
We'll fit in a 1-hour slot, talk 35 minutes + Q&A 20 minutes (11:00-11:55am Central Time).
The zoom link will be posted in comments below 5 minutes before the event starts, and due to our zoom's 100-attendee limit, only the first 100 people will be able to join the zoom call. So don't be late.

A Decade of Using R in Production
with Gergely Daroczi, Senior Director of Data Operations at System1

R is often not taken seriously by Real Programmers, and considered a scripting language for ad-hoc data analysis, which is a great interactive tool used by data scientists, but the models (obviously written in notebooks) will eventually need to be productionized using a Real Programming Language. I am also biased, and tend to be similarly opinionated about R (although in the opposite direction), but instead of arguing that R is now ready for production, this talk will just rather share some use-cases and best practices on how I managed to use R in production from small to large companies for ETL, reporting, modeling, live-scoring, stream processing and many more.

Bio: Gergely Daroczi is an enthusiast R user and package developer, Ph.D. in Sociology, former assistant professor, currently working in the industry with 15 years of experience in data science, engineering, cloud infrastructure, and data operations at SaaS, fintech, adtech, and healthtech companies with a strong interest in building scalable data platforms on the top of R and AWS. He maintains a dozen CRAN packages related to using R in production (automated reports, logging, database connections, API integrations), co-authored a number of journal articles in social and medical sciences, and wrote a book on "Mastering Data Analysis with R".
