My biggest question: is this intended as a replacement/augmentation for Jupyter notebooks? i.e. creating interactive apps just for the data scientist to make themselves more productive. Or is it for building apps that you distribute to other people, like dashboard for management, labeling tools for crowdsourcing, etc.

@Will I’ll ask 🙂

AFAIK it’s more a deployment solution / the interactive apps bit
I’m many orgs, the people doing the data science aren’t in the eng org / have the knowledge of dealing with all the BS needed to deploy something to the cloud
People have been trying this ML as a Service, model as a service etc play for a while. Pachyderm.io is also here, but it’s way way heavier. You have to dockerize stuff and they have a complex “git for data” file system etc. it’s for more eng savvy data scientists
