Welcome to Naas
The open platform democratizing data science with templates
This documentation is in
beta. It may change frequently. To propose changes or enhancements, please create a GitHub Issue. Why Naas?
The ability to access live business insights from data provides a real competitive advantage.
Organizations collect a growing quantity of data across domains but only a few manage to connect the dots and extract the essential business value. This; is the purpose of data science.
The main problem is that the data often sits in different silos. This situation generates :
- Poor audibility
- Complex multi-channel distribution (email, chat, files, reports, social media)
- Lack of accountability
Naas is solving that with low-code.
In the past decade, the low-code and no-code solutions have become a multi-billion dollar industry. The promise of these solutions is that anyone can build applications and automation using templates. Yet, no standard has emerged in “low-code data science”.
Naas was built to become this standard, comforted by Netflix publications explaining why they are investing in a Jupyter Notebook infrastructure to solve their data challenges.
Naas and Jupyter Notebooks.
Naas leverages Jupyter Notebooks and its 10 million users. Jupyter Notebook is a web-based interactive computing platform for data science. A notebook is a document made with cells of live code, text and visualizations for data exploration, collaboration and storytelling.
Thanks to Naas low-code formulas, notebooks become more readable, more accessible, and interconnected to support faster business decision-making.
Naas augments Jupyter Notebooks by adding micro-services accessible in low-code to easily access data, automation, and AI.
Naas is an open-source platform that allows data professionals (business analysts, scientists and engineers) to create data engines combining automation, analytics and AI from the comfort of their Jupyter notebooks.
The data engines unlock the ability to follow live metrics across business domains and generate micro-decisions recommendations for non-tech users.
The platform is based on 3 foundational elements: templates, drivers, features.
- The templates enable the user to create “ready-to-use” automation and reports in minutes.
- The low-code drivers act as lego blocks to facilitate interconnections between tools (databases, APIs, Machine Learning algorithms...).
- The low-code features (scheduling, asset sharing, notifications...) enable the distribution of insights to end-users in multiple channels.
How does it work?
Start with templates
The easiest way to go is simply to find the right template for you.
Naas services
Naas creates a dynamic production environment for your Notebooks. Each time you run the following formulas in a notebook, it will be sent into the "⚡️ → Production" folder" for execution.
To get started, create a folder, open a notebook, and import Naas :
1
import naas
Copied!
Schedule your notebook
Send in production this notebook and run it, every day at 9:00
1
naas.scheduler.add(cron="0 9 * * *")
Copied!
Add a dependency
Send in production any file type like
test.csv as a dependency:1
naas.dependency.add("test.csv")
Copied!
Add a secret key
Copy in production any secret key :
1
naas.secret.add(name="API_NAME", secret="API_KEY")
Copied!
Remove the previous line and get your secret key with :
1
naas.secret.get(name="MY_API_KEY")
Copied!
This allows you to push your notebook in production without sensitive data getting exposed.
Trigger Webhook
Copy in production this notebook and allow to run it by calling the returned URL:
1
naas.webhook.add()
Copied!
Call the URL with your navigator you will get a message and see the notebook has run.
If you want to download the notebook result instead, add this line:
1
naas.webhook.respond_notebook()
Copied!
Expose assets
Copy in production this asset ( file ) and allow to get it by calling the returned url:
1
link = naas.assets.add("tesla-chart.html")
Copied!
Send notifications
Send an email notification to anyone, to notify about data changes, alert on notebooks operations, etc...
1
# Get link var from previous step
2
email = "[email protected]"
3
subject = "The tesla action is going up"
4
content = "check in the link the chart data maide from fresh dataset : " + link
5
naas.notifications.send(email=email, subject=subject, content=content)
Copied!
Help
Open
If at any time you are lost, you need help, or just want some info!
1
import naas

3
naas.open_help()
Copied!
That will open a chat box with us
Close help chat
