Description of talk

Life as member of a data team is awesome but as a lone data scientist in a small company you have to be data engineer, IT consultant and data scientist all in one. So how do you get your R scripts to run? In this talk I hope to inspire lone data scientists on all the ways you can run your Rscript in the cloud. I cover some simple and more advanced use cases for running R in the cloud. I also talk about cooperating with IT for maximum results.

Script progression of exploratory to production ready

In the talk I explain about how you get your exploratory script to a more production ready script. In from exploration to script (another markdown document in this repo) you can see a progression where I add informative logging and error quickly.
