Chapter 11: Using Pachyderm Notebooks

In Chapter 10, Pachyderm Language Clients, we learned how to use Pachyderm language clients, including the Pachyderm Go client and Pachyderm Python client. The latter is probably more popular among data scientists as Python is the language that a lot of data scientists use. And if you write in Python, you are likely familiar with the open source tool, JupyterLab.

JupyterLab is an open source platform that provides an Interactive Development Environment (IDE) in which you can not only author your code but also execute it. This advantage makes JupyterLab an ideal tool for data science experiments. However, while JupyterLab provides a basic version control system for its notebooks, it's not to the level of data provenance that Pachyderm offers. Pachyderm Hub, the SaaS version of Pachyderm, provides a way to integrate your Pachyderm cluster with Pachyderm Notebooks, a built-in version of JupyterLab coupled with Pachyderm.
