πŸš€ Streamlit: build data apps in minutes
#

Streamlit is a technology that lets you create interactive web applications using only Python, without needing HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

Ideal for quick prototypes, dashboards, and for sharing machine learning models easily.

⭐ Why it stands out
#

  • ⚑ Speed: from script to app in minutes.
  • 🧩 Immediate interactivity: sliders, selectors, file uploads, and more.
  • 🐍 Python only: perfect for data teams.
  • ☁️ Simple deployment: via Streamlit Cloud or Snowflake.

πŸ†š Streamlit vs Power BI
#

Conclusion:

  • Streamlit is ideal when you need to build custom apps and you have Python skills.
  • Power BI shines when you need enterprise reporting, governance and guided analysis.

🧠 In short
#

Streamlit is like a “magic template” that converts your Python code into a ready-to-use web application.

If you can program in Python, you can create an app without learning anything else.

Power BI, on the other hand, is a visual tool where you drag and drop elements to build reports, without needing to program.
