Hi Ifenna,

that's a great topic. Thanks for picking it up!

Let me suggest a small addition. For more advanced projects, you might want to use a framework such as Apache Airflow. It allows scheduling of workflows and has additional features such as logs and a UI.

However, for most projects this might be too much overhead.

Great article :)

Best, Constantin
