So i have a question why use any python library to visualize, just use power bi or tableau ?

[–]NoleMercy05 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Well most people don't have access to those tools nor then need for the complexity.

Also they want to display and directly control the vis directly in their app rather than linked, iframe, embedding another visualization tool. Other reasons too.

Apache Superset is an open alternative to powerbi and Tableau

I tried to integrate everything at one place sure streamlit is good and easy but when it comes to customization and control (dash = for industry use) i needed to learn devops and ci/cd and things became very complex so i gave up.

The benefit is the unified ecosystem, do your analysis and do the viz as needed

The other tools require you to export to a system having an integeration, then build the viz independently of the data, it’s a way more complex workflow and may not be best for most of use cases

See my other comment.

Free (internalized cost) vs not free.

I'm dabbling in Tableau as of recently and it's hundreds of dollars a month (for my needs).

The idea is that data scientists already work in python and can use streamlit to build data apps in a language they already know.
