Kursbeschreibung

Take your Polars skills to production scale. Learn to read query plans and unlock the optimizer's full potential, work efficiently with Parquet, CSV, and database sources, and exploit advanced dtypes like List, Struct, Categorical, and Enum. You'll also stream large queries to disk, process data in batches, and build testable pipelines with built-in assertions. By the end, you'll be equipped to build high-performing data workflows that handle datasets of any size.
