Getting Started with Streamlit for Data Science

By: Tyler Richards

Overview of this book

Streamlit shortens the development time for the creation of data-focused web applications, allowing data scientists to create web app prototypes using Python in hours instead of days. Getting Started with Streamlit for Data Science takes a hands-on approach to helping you learn the tips and tricks that will have you up and running with Streamlit in no time. You'll start with the fundamentals of Streamlit by creating a basic app and gradually build on the foundation by producing high-quality graphics with data visualization and testing machine learning models. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll walk through practical examples of both personal data projects and work-related data-focused web applications, and get to grips with more challenging topics such as using Streamlit Components, beautifying your apps, and quick deployment of your new apps. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create dynamic web apps in Streamlit quickly and effortlessly using the power of Python.

Chapter 5: Deploying Streamlit with Streamlit Sharing

So far in this book, we have focused on Streamlit app development, from creating complex visualizations to deploying and creating machine learning (ML) models. In this chapter, we will learn how to deploy these applications so they can be shared with anyone with internet access. This is a crucial part of Streamlit apps, as, without the ability to deploy a Streamlit app, the friction still exists for users or consumers of your work. If we believe that Streamlit removes the friction between creating data science analysis/products/models and sharing them with others, then we must also believe that the ability to widely share apps is just as crucial as the ease of development. 

There are three main ways to deploy Streamlit apps: through a product created by Streamlit called Streamlit Sharing, through a cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services or Heroku, or through another product created by Streamlit called Streamlit for Teams...
