[TriPython] TriPython October 2016 Meeting: Engineering a Robust(ish) Data Pipeline with Luigi and AWS Elastic Map Reduce

[Chris Calloway]

To avoid a conflict with All Things Open, the October meeting is a week 
earlier than usual:

http://tripython.org/Members/cbc/oct-16-mtg

When: Thursday, October 20, 7pm

Where: Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI)
        Biltmore Conference Room, 5th Floor
        100 Europa Drive, Suite 590
        Chapel Hill

What: With great data comes great responsibility. In this talk, we'll 
look at how to build a data reporting pipeline that's reliable, 
scalable, and maintainable. This will involve Luigi, a simple but 
powerful tool for managing interdependent batch processes. We'll also 
look at using the Datapipeline and EMR services in AWS. This talk is by 
Aaron Knight. Aaron is a full-stack engineer at Voxy, an education 
startup that creates English lessons that are personalized to a 
learner's interests and goals. He is also the organizer of the weekly 
Triangle Hacker Hours meetup. Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 
minute duration are also welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. 
Lightning talks are for you to "show and tell" something you've learned 
about Python recently, no matter how small. We all use Python, 
therefore, we are always learning something new about Python that we can 
tell others. Plenty of free parking is available in the RENCI parking 
deck. The meeting will be followed by our usual after-meeting at a 
nearby tavern for food and beverage. Come join us for a fun and 
informative evening.
