Notebooks as a service (Naas) is an open source platform that allows anyone touching data (analysts, scientists and engineers) to create powerful data solutions combining automation, analytics and AI from the comfort of their Jupyter notebooks.

Naas is an alternative to Google Colab, with superpowers.

The platform upgrades notebooks with 3 low-code layers to get things done faster: features, drivers, and templates.

• ****Templates enable the user to create automated data jobs and reports in minutes.
• ****Drivers act as connectors to push and/or pull data from databases, APIs, Machine Learning algorithms, and more.
• ****Features transform Jupyter in a production-ready environment with scheduling, asset sharing, and notifications.

Naas cloud is the fastest and easiest way to get you started!

Try all of Naas's features for free using Naas cloud a stable environment, without having to install anything.

The easiest way to go is simply to find the right template for you.

{% content-ref url="templates.md" %} templates.md {% endcontent-ref %}

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 :

import naas

Send in production this notebook and run it, every day at 9:00

naas.scheduler.add(cron="0 9 * * *")

{% content-ref url="features/scheduler.md" %} scheduler.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Send in production any file type like test.csv as a dependency:

naas.dependency.add("test.csv")

{% content-ref url="features/dependency.md" %} dependency.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Copy in production any secret key :

naas.secret.add(name="API_NAME", secret="API_KEY")

Remove the previous line and get your secret key with :

naas.secret.get(name="MY_API_KEY")

This allows you to push your notebook in production without sensitive data getting exposed.

{% content-ref url="features/secret.md" %} secret.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Copy in production this notebook and allow to run it by calling the returned URL:

naas.webhook.add()

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:

naas.webhook.respond_notebook()

{% content-ref url="features/api.md" %} api.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Copy in production this asset ( file ) and allow to get it by calling the returned url:

link = naas.assets.add("tesla-chart.html")

{% content-ref url="features/asset.md" %} asset.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Send an email notification to anyone, to notify about data changes, alert on notebooks operations, etc...

# Get link var from previous step
email = "[email protected]"
subject = "The tesla action is going up"
content = "check in the link the chart data maide from fresh dataset : " + link
naas.notifications.send(email=email, subject=subject, content=content)

{% content-ref url="features/notification.md" %} notification.md {% endcontent-ref %}
