What if your data apps could be fast?

To build faster data apps, you have to first address the root causes of slow page loads: time consuming queries and processing. Data loaders address both by generating static files at build time, so that your data apps load nearly instantaneously.

If you’re ready to give data loaders and Observable Framework a try, you won’t want to miss this webinar. In this live virtual event, Observable team members Allison Horst (Developer Marketing Manager), Paul Buffa (Director of Business Intelligence), and Michael Cooper (Senior Software Engineer) will lead a practical introduction to writing data loaders in Observable Framework.

This webinar will cover:
• Essentials of data loaders — what they are and why you should use them
• Advanced and unexpected data loader strategies
• Our favorite tips for making the most of data loaders

You'll leave with the practical knowledge you need to start writing data loaders on your own.
