kedro-static-viz is out with support for the newly released hooks feature. This means that you can have automatically deploy a full gatsby site keeping your visualization always up to date. Even though it is a static site there is no functionality lost. The only thing that’s missing is the flask server. With kedro-static-viz you can deploy your visualization to a number of static hosting providers such as GitHub pages free of charge with wicked fast performance ⚡ It’s Fast Even though it’s built on gatsbyjs the full site builds in under 2s even on slower hardware. This is because the site is already pre-rendered and stripped of any excess. It’s zipped up right into the python package and is typically used with the cli, but now can be used with python, or as a hook as well. What is kedro-viz 🤔 Kedro viz is a fantastic kedro plugin that allows you to visualize your data pipeline. Kedro allows you to quickly build production-ready pipelines where you just configure a catalog, then toss py…

There are two main ways to create kedro hooks, with modules and classes. Each one still uses the same verbiage as the function/method names. Class hooks seem a bit special as they give you a way to configure them so that they are a bit more generally useful. What is Kedro If you are completely unsure what kedro is be sure to check out my what is kedro post Installation.create a new environment manager of choice. Here I will use. Then we will install from pypi. Create a sample project Kedro new For more details check out my full post on kedro new For this post I really just want a working pipeline as fast as possible. For this I am going to use iris pipeline that is generated from the command in the cli. It’s important that you answer to create an example pipeline. Hold On ✋ Did you create a separate environment for this? Please do. After you run the command it will ask a series of questions. 👇 Here is how I answered them. Install the Project Next install the project itself and all of i…

This post is a 🧠 branstorming work in progress. I will likely use it as a storage location/brain dump of hook ideas.

I want to incorporate some of the wonderful comments, \U0001F495, \U0001F984, and \U0001F516’s that I have been getting on dev.to on my website. I have dabbled once or twice with no avail this time I am taking notes on my journey, so follow along and let’s get there together. By the end of this post, I will have a way to get comments from posts on the client-side thanks to the wonderfully open dev.to API.

GitHub’s actions are a new GitHub feature that will trigger GitHub to spin up a virtual machine and run some tasks with some special access to your repo. It can interact with comments/issues, it can clone your repo, You can explicitly pass in secrets so that it can commit back to the repo or deploy to another service. The environment may be a Linux, windows, or even a mac machine. I believe this is wildly incredible for the open-source community, putting these tools in the same place that we are already collaborating is so convenient. What can they do for my personal website? 🤔 GitHub actions can give you confidence that your site is up and running, with the latest JavaScript packages, does not have broken links, and can even take screenshots of what your website looks like on different screen sizes and operating systems. periodically check that the website is up update npm url checker screenshot website srt32/uptime srt32/uptime is an action that you can run on any public website.

Kedro provides an efficient way to build out data catalogs with their yaml api. It allows you to be very declaritive about loading and saving your data. For the most part you just need to tell Kedro what connector to use and its filepath. When running Kedro takes care of all of the read/write, you just reference the catalog key. But what is happening behind the scenes Under the hood there is an that each connector inherits from. It sets up a lot of the behind the scenes structure for us so that we dont have to. For the most part kedro has connectors for about anything that you want to load, csv, parquet, sql, json, from about anywhere, http, s3, localfile system are just some of the examples. Here is a DataSet implementation from their docs. Here you can see the barebones example straight from the docs. Parameters from the yaml catalog will get passed in

As usual while listening to python bytes 181 I heard of a tool that I had to try out right away! This thing is 🔥 hot off the press folks, we’re talking the first release only 3 weeks ago. Its something that the python community needed years ago, and it belongs in your CI today. I had tried several tools that tried to do docstring coverage in the past but they were a bit cumbersome and were quickly forgotten about. Not interrogate, its dead simple! Nothing I have tried has come close to being this good Interrogate It runs documentation coverage for your python project. It allows you to set the minimum amount of docstring coverage for your project and has some great setup instructions right in the readme. Install it Interrogate is on pypi so it is super simple to install with run it This is the best part, its super easy to run right from the command line! Just call it, and give it a path to run. 😲 I have some work to do One of my new open source packages find-kedro only hit 71%. Personal…

When creating cli’s I often want some nice full-width character. I find it tough to find them, and when I do half the time it is an image or something that cannot be copied 👿. I rarely get very complex with my semi-manual ASCII art. I can do 98% of what I need with bars and corners. Using some simple full-width characters can really give your cli a nice clean look. Example I’d say 50% of what I need is just a full-width horizontal bar to give some visual flair or separation. Bars Square Corners Round Corners Harpoons Double Boxes Dashed Boxes Connectors Others Arrows Rounded Box Resources As I was putting this together I stumbled accross a good site to find ascii characters and copy them.

Kedro Hooks Intro - kedro hooks are an exciting upcoming feature of kedro. They allow you to hook into,, and (nouns). With a, or (adjective). This really reminds me of reacts lifecycle hooks, that let you hook into various state of react web components. This is going to make kedro so extendable by the community. I am super pumped to see what the community is able to do with this ability. kedro hooks are an exciting upcoming feature of kedro. They allow you to hook into,, and (nouns). With a, or (adjective).

This is a very rough idea for a kedro package to prevent time lost to get partway through a pipeline run only to realize that you dont have access to data or resources. Must Haves check that inputs exist or are of a type to skip (sql) Good to haves check that all input and output databases are accessible with good credentials check for s3 bucket access check for spark install Implementation run params

is a small library to enhance your kedro experience. It looks through your modules to find kedro pipelines, nodes, and iterables (lists, sets, tuples) of nodes. It then assembles them into a dictionary of pipelines, each module will create a separate pipeline, and being a combination of all pipelines. This format is compatible with the kedro format. is a ✨ fantastic project that allows for super-fast prototyping of data pipelines, while yielding production-ready pipelines. enhances this experience by adding a pytest like node/pipeline discovery eliminating the need to bubble up pipelines through modules. When working on larger pipeline projects, it is advisable to break your project down into different sub-modules which requires knowledge of building python libraries, and knowing how to import each module correctly. While this is not too difficult, in some cases, it can trip up even the most senior engineers, losing precious feature development time to debugging a library. is deployed…
