Join us for another insightful and hands-on meetup where we take the mystery out of deploying data science projects! In this session, we’ll explore modern tools and platforms that make it easier than ever to go from experimentation to production—whether you’re building machine learning models, data apps, or AI services.

Whether you’re a beginner curious about how to share your models with the world or an experienced data scientist looking to modernize your workflow, this session is for you.

Here’s our agenda for the day:

1. Welcome and Introduction (15 minutes)

• Meet the community and organizers.

• Overview of today’s theme: “From Notebooks to Production: Tools for Deploying Data Science Projects.”

• Why deployment matters: Turning insights into impact.

2. Deployment Fundamentals & Tooling Overview (45 minutes)

• Docker & Devcontainers: Understand how containerization helps make your code portable, consistent, and scalable.

• GitHub Codespaces: Learn how to spin up cloud-based development environments instantly with devcontainers and GitHub.

• Best Practices: How to structure your data science projects for easier collaboration and deployment.

3. Hands-On with ML Deployment Platforms (60 minutes)

• Hugging Face Spaces: Build and share interactive ML demos using Gradio and Streamlit in minutes.

• Inference Endpoints: Deploy models as scalable APIs without managing infrastructure.
