Lazy Buckaroo: Analyze Big Data on Your Laptop
Big datasets don’t wait for your RAM to catch up. When local files brush up against memory limits, most tools buckle, forcing you into blind sampling and guesswork. Buckaroo flips the script by rendering only what’s visible, leaning on Polars’ lazy engine for the heavy lifting, and surfacing insights in real time as the UI updates.
In this talk, Paddy Mullen will walk us through how Buckaroo makes large-scale, local data exploration fast, fluid, and surprisingly joyful. No clusters. No cloud. Your favorite laptop is all you need.
