Abstract :
Often when collecting data, we want to do so on a recurring basis. But how? Especially when starting out with (R) programming, this can be a complex challenge as sentences like "just set up a EC2 instance" are thrown at you without much context. In my talk, I will take you along my personal learning journey over the course of the past 3.5 years and three solution approaches: from a hacky R script on a Raspberry Pi (a mini computer) to a Python-solution in "the cloud" back to an improved R/Raspberry Pi version. In the process, I'll cycle back to fundamental tools/concepts like CRON that are central to automation.
