Enhancing performance and using big data tools
This is a very important topic, and we always need to make sure that our apps perform at an acceptable level. We didn't tackle this in the book because the focus was mainly to learn how to create a Dash app with all the other details that make it work. We also worked with a very small dataset of a few megabytes. Still, even with a small dataset, it can be crucial to optimize it. Big data can be about handling a massive file, or it can be about a small file that needs to be handled a massive number of times.
These are some things that can be done to optimize performance, but big data is a separate topic altogether, so here are some hints and some areas to explore.
Once we know how our app will behave and what features we will be using, we can clean up some unnecessary code and data that might be hindering our app's performance. Here are some ideas that can be done immediately to our app:
- Load the necessary data only...
