The Three Environments
![](https://miamioh.edu/_files/images/it-services/news-articles/2017/08/dev-graphic.png)
Dev
- The development environment is the product sandbox
- Most “data science” happens here:
- Data analysis & modeling
- App prototyping
- ETL
Comparing dev for data science vs dev for software engineering:
Data Science | Software Engineering | |
---|---|---|
Goal | Explore relationships in data that may develop into live products | Build & implement a specific feature for a live product with pre-defined requirements |
Tools | “Fully fledged” data science IDE (RStudio, VSCode) can encompass Dev, Test, & Prod | Dev, Test, & Prod are differentiated by environments & containers |
