Streamlit is an open-source Python library that enables data scientists and machine learning engineers to create and share web applications from their data scripts. It simplifies the process of turning data analyses and machine learning models into interactive, shareable web tools. With Streamlit, users can build data apps using Python without needing extensive knowledge of front-end web development like HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.
Streamlit was founded in 2018 by Adrien Treuille, Thiago Teixeira, and Amanda Kelly. In 2022, Streamlit was acquired by Snowflake. Streamlit offers features such as a simple and intuitive API, live code editing, built-in widgets and components, and seamless deployment. It supports various frameworks, including Scikit Learn, Keras, PyTorch, and more. Streamlit is used for building interactive dashboards, machine learning model demos, and data exploration tools.
Streamlit is available for free as an open-source library. Streamlit also offers a joint product with Snowflake, which is not free and its cost is based on Snowflake consumption. Streamlit Community Cloud is available for showcasing public apps for free, requiring only a GitHub account.
