As some other commenters have said, this is really a self-inflicted problem. The author has chosen to do an EDA task which is very manageable on a laptop via a convoluted stack of cloud services - possibly just to illustrate a point. But even if this all worked smoothly, the fact that it is far removed from "software engineering" has more to do with the fact that it's a data analysis project. If it were about about writing firmware for audio hardware it would look very different. Nitpick: ! for shell commands is an IPython feature, not Jupyter. It doesn't work with other kernels.
