- 8. Volodymyrk What are wetrying to solve? Master Dashboard - External or internal clients - Lot’s of interactivity - Complex Layout 8 Analytics Portal - Lots of Dashboards - Many are similar - Interactive filters/selectors Report Generator - Produces HTML report - Based on inputs Interactivity/ Exploration Pre-made choices
- 9. Volodymyrk Option-1: Tableau ● AlsoLooker, Periscope, Superset, Qlick, Mode, Redash.. ● If existing functionality is enough ● If you don’t need to automate the creation ● If “creator and owner” of those dashboards is a Business Data Analyst (e.g. not code-savvy data scientist) 9
- 10. Volodymyrk Option-2: R-Shiny + Mature +Backed by RStudio (commercial company) + Looks good - R 10
- 11. Volodymyrk Option-3: Python back-end,JavaScript front-end + No middleman between browser code and you + Mature ecosystem - Too complex for a regular Data Scientist 11 Web Framework: Flask, Django, Tornado, etc. Data Layer: Numpy, Pandas, Scipy, etc HTML+JS: D3.js, NVD3, HighCharts, Plotly etc.
- 12. Volodymyrk Option-4: Bokeh Server ●Best-kept secret in Python Data Ecosystem ● Custom JavaScript library (Bokeh.js) ● Uses HTML Canvas (or WebGL) ● Historically used CoffeeScript 12
- 13.
