Daisi: Python Cloud Functions
Serverless Python ('daisies') for scientific computing — YOLO, Prophet, sentiment, dimensionality reduction, all callable with one line.

Daisi was a serverless cloud-functions platform aimed at scientists and engineers: you wrote a Python function, wrapped it in a decorator, and called it from anywhere — including R — as if it were a local library. I built many of the reference “daisies” (our name for a deployed function) and wrote most of the platform’s engineering blog posts.
Selected posts I authored:
- Daisi: Python Cloud Functions for Scientists and Engineers
- End-to-End Data Pipelines with Daisies
- YOLO Object Detection using Daisies
- Twitter Sentiment Analysis: the Power of the Daisi Chain
- Leveraging Daisies from within an R Environment
The platform sunset in November 2022. The ideas — small serverless units, language-polyglot calling conventions, science-friendly packaging — obviously didn’t die with it.
