Pandas Should Go Extinct

Eddie Atkinson

Talk Description

Just as fire was a great innovation over freezing to death, so too was Pandas a great innovation over Excel. But just as we no longer have bonfires in the middle of our houses for heating (we simply load a small dataframe into memory on windows), the time has come to move to better tools.

Join me as I discuss the Polar opposite of Pandas for in-memory analytics, the database that quacks and why you probably don't need Databricks.
