Overview

The last step is turning the analysis into a script that runs on a schedule, logs what it did, and fails loudly.

In this lesson you will:

  • Turn a notebook into a parameterised script
  • Log progress and failures usefully
  • Schedule the job and alert when it breaks

Pro Tip

Use caching and revalidation wisely to ensure your app stays fast and data remains fresh without unnecessary requests.
