The main resource you interact with in Code Workbook is a Workbook. Workbooks are used to import datasets from Foundry and transform these input datasets for purposes such as:
Cleaning and joining raw data imported from some external source to produce curated datasets for other users.
Analyzing processed datasources to derive useful insights.
Training and applying models to do predictive analysis.
Creating parameterized visualizations to display in a report.
Code templates enable users with a range of technical experience to collaborate by abstracting code away behind a simple form-based interface. Values selected by users are substituted into a code template, which can then be run like any other transform in the Workbook.
Each Code Workbook is associated with an environment. An environment includes a set of Conda packages and Spark settings installed on the Spark module backing computation in the Workbook.
Branching in Code Workbook provides a version control experience tailored to data transformation, enabling teams to operate on logic and data simultaneously in a Workbook.
