This came out of a practical problem: at Spotify, Andreas couldn't let any data leave their network. He wasn't going to go through procurement to buy an enterprise version of one of those products, so his only option left was open source software.
But it's also out of principle: we think such a foundational thing needs to be open source. There is a reason most people use Git and not Perforce.
Replicate can work alongside visualization tools -- your data is safe in your own S3 bucket, but you can use the hosted visualization tool to complement that.
You could also imagine visualization tools built on top of Replicate. One thing we've been thinking about is doing visualization inside notebooks. It's like a programmable Tensorboard: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/18sVRE4Zi484G2rBeOYjobE3zek2gDBvy https://colab.research.google.com/drive/18sVRE4Zi484G2rBeOYj...
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about that. It's pretty primitive so far, but we've got to start somewhere I suppose. :)
- lcap 6y agoThe idea looks very good! I have to say however that I am a bit wary of notebooks. I agree how great they are to visualize things, but they also tend to have a negative effect on the coding standards of a team. This is again probably a personal bias and they look to be suited for this use case. Great launch anyway!
