Overview

For your Build Week, you will wrangle data, develop a machine learning model, and deploy your work as an API on Heroku. You're also encouraged but not required to build a simple frontend UI.

For your web framework, you have three options. Plotly Dash is recommended, but the choice is yours!

• FastAPI: What you'll use in Labs

• Flask: What you learned in Unit 3

• Plotly Dash: Build a complete app in Python

How to get help

Post on Slack in #bw_help or #ds_general.

Describe the problem. What are you trying to do? What results did you expect? What results did you get instead? Include any error messages. How have you tried solving the problem so far? If you deployed to Heroku and it doesn't work there, does it work locally? Share your code. Push your code to GitHub. What's your repo URL? Which branch has your code, if it's not the main branch? Or, can you provide a minimal, reproducible example?

Big picture

Here's how DS Build Weeks in Units 3 & 4 compare to what you did back in Units 1 & 2, and what you'll do in Labs (Unit 6).
