RubyConf 2023 - Get your Data prod ready, Fast, with Ruby Polars! by Paul Reece

Imagine you receive a CSV of data that has over 500,000 rows and 100 columns. Data is randomly missing in some places, some of the column names are wrong, and you have mixed Data types in some of the columns. Correcting and cleaning that data by hand could take hours. Fear not! There is a better and faster way. We will look into using Ruby Polars, a gem written in Rust with a Ruby API, to wrangle and clean tabular data to get it prod ready. By learning some basic operations used in Polars you can greatly expedite the import process of CSV files and API Data. Whether your goal is to use the Data in an existing application or use it in a Ruby AI/Machine learning project(since cleaning Data is a vital first step in this process), this talk will get you well on your way!
