Bridging the gap between data scientists and engineers in machine learning workflows
Moving code from prototype to production can be tricky—especially for data scientists. There are many challenges in deploying code that needs to calculate features for ML models in real-time. I look at potential solutions to ease the friction.

Quix Streams – Stream Processing with Kafka and Python
We’ve featured many of Kai Waehner’s writings in this newsletter and it’s great to see Kai dedicate his latest post to the Open Source library Quix Streams (Github) and Python stream processing. He demonstrates with context and examples why pure Python is an excellent strategy for many ML use cases.

Meme of the Month
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Check out the repo
Our Python client library is open source, and brings DataFrames and the Python ecosystem to stream processing.
Mike Rosam is Co-Founder and CEO at Quix, where he works at the intersection of business and technology to pioneer the world's first streaming data development platform. He was previously Head of Innovation at McLaren Applied, where he led the data analytics product line. Mike has a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA from Imperial College London.
