Zepl has solved one of the most challenging issues around sharing open source notebooks — providing a consistent development and production environment for running and deploying notebooks. This challenge causes data science and data engineering teams to waste hours of time focused on infrastructure configuration and maintenance.

Custom Images

An image in Zepl defines all of the libraries (for Python, R, and Scala), environment variables, and system paths needed to run a notebook. Zepl’s images are decoupled from the notebook and compute resource, which reduces the sprawl of managing resource environments and allows the user to test their notebooks in dev/test/prod without touching the code. This also simplifies collaboration by allowing all users to create their own custom images, which any user can access and reuse. All of these features work together to reduce complexity, improve collaboration, and allow consistency across every notebook.

Custom images take the headache out of sharing and accelerate collaboration. In addition, custom images lower the barrier for collaboration with non-technical colleagues who may not have the know-how to update their own data science infrastructure.
