Amazon Forecast vs. Streamlit

I personally get the feeling that Amazon Forecast must have been a direct product released on the models Amazon themselves must have used at some port. Amazon Forecast definitely shines when using it for product demand, inventory, and pricing throughout store locations, etc. Everything, including data-set importing, works best in this context. When applying it to more edge cases like resource planning around events, it can be a bit more tricky to apply effectively.

- Don't want to pay Tableau $1,000 / seat? Use Streamlit - Want fully custom views and navigation? Use Streamlit - Want access to Machine Learning and not just your dev team? Use Streamlit - Want to keep things internal and secure? Use Streamlit - Want your Data Science team to be able to crank out projects quickly? Use Streamlit - Sick of Jupyter Notebooks and Business Leaders not understanding them? Use Streamlit Our D.S. strategy has moved completely to delivering pages in Streamlit. I can hand an executive a Jupyter notebook and it'll get lost in translation. I can give them sign-in access to a page and they can answer all of their own "What-If?" questions! We've used Streamlit to productize our Data Science and Machine Learning capabilities.

There was no other product or service that was considered before making the choice to go with Amazon Forecast as the forecasting that the company was looking for had everything running in the AWS environment, the choice had to be obvious. Integrating with Amazon Forecast also ensured that everything is under a single roof and we didn't have to go multiple places looking for data when needed.

I started using Streamlit when it first came out and thought it was really useful and powerful. A few years later and they've really hit their stride! The features / widgets / materials they provide have been well researched, well designed, and well implemented. I will take Streamlit to any future companies I go to as well as be a strong promoter wherever I'm currently at. It's free. It's easy to use. It is really powerful. Sure? You could go pay for a larger system but your Data Science team should be able to handle Streamlit easily. I'd argue a non-technical person spending a few weeks in python could pick up Streamlit really quickly.
