Suricate is an open data science platform that allows users to: 1) Upload or stream data into the platform for processing and analytics. 2) Data scientists can then perform analytics using Python or other tools and visualize results. 3) The platform supports processing the results of analytics to trigger actions, thereby enabling the creation of continuously adjusted agile systems and strategies based on up-to-date insights.

2. tl;dr
Suricate allows:
● you to upload or stream data
● a Data Scientist to perform Analytics
(using Python or …) and visualize the
results.
● supports the processing and decision
making (trigger actions) on the results of
the analysis. Thereby creation of
continuously adjusted agile Systems &
Strategies based on up-to-date insights.

Stream data into the
service or upload the
data in an internal or
external Storage
(Object, Relational,
etc). The data can then
be aggregated,
preprocessed and
cached.
Use Python interactive
scripting capabilities to
perform analytics and
visualize the results.
The Data Scientist can
interact with the
Service via a Web UI or
REST API.
Uses Cloud Computing
features to perform the
computational aspect
of the analytics.
Process the learned
models and trigger
actions on insights
gained, to create agile
Systems & Strategies.
