Which “as a service” Jupyter notebook could I use?

This was the question it came to me yesterday.

I’m using Kaggle to learn and to execute some basic scripts, and it’s a great environment, but it’s not ready for working on several scripts that require some type of organization and power.

So I was looking for places where I could run my Jupyter notebooks. After an initial list of 6, I focused on 3: Binder, CoCalc and Google Colaborative (CoLab).

• Binder: the environment is great but I tested a simple download of data from yahoo finance and it was out of time.
• CoCalc: I was not able to run the short piece of code, so same thing.
• CoLab: It worked at the first time and it took few seconds to return a csv file with 12.000 entries. So I by the moment I’m working on it.

The code used to test the environment was this one:

A simple Wardley map of “me” as evolved user

I know, I know, this map is a little bit ridiculous, but I could not resist to draw it.
