The rapid growth of Python is, in part due, to it's exceptional toolkit for Data Analysts, Scientists, and Engineers. Packages like Pandas, Scikit-Learn, PySpark, and Dask have become staples for teams looking to process data. However, when processing large amounts of data there are times when Python might not be the right solution for your task. In this conversation, we'll learn about Cloud based Data Warehouses, such as Google's BigQuery, Amazon's Redshift, and Snowflake. You'll learn about the advantages of these platforms compared to in-memory processing in Python. We'll also show examples of how you can use Apache Airflow to automate recurring tasks, turning your Data Warehouse into the cornerstone of your Data Science infrastructure.
