Talk Python To Me

On this episode, Rob Emanuele and Tom Augspurger join us to talk about building and running Microsoft's Planetary Computer project. This project is dedicated to providing the data around climate records and the compute necessary to process it with the mission of help use all understand climate change better. It combines multiple petabytes of data with a powerful hosted Jupyterlab notebook environment to process it.

If you are working with data pipelines, you definitely need to give Apache Airflow a look. This pure-Python workflow framework is one of the most popular and capable out there. You create your workflows by writing Python code using clever language operators and then you can monitor them and even debug them visually once they get started. Stop writing manual code or cron-job based code to create data pipelines check out Airflow. We're joined by three excellent guests from the Airflow community: Jarek Potiuk, Kaxil Naik, and Leah Cole.

You've heard me talk to wide cast of people building amazing things with Python. Some of them are building bio-reactors to remove carbon from the air with AI and Python. Others are optimizing aerodynamics and race strategy at the highest levels of automobile racing. This episode is different. Rather than seeing how far we can push Python to the edges of technology, we are diving in to the tiny Python applications that might never be released publicly and yet can transform our day to day lives with simple automation on an individual level.
