• Eric Sims, Sr. Analyst, Strategy & Analytics at LendingTree, said: “Deploying on Streamlit was ridiculously easy – took 5 minutes tops, probably less, actually.”

Streamlit 1.0 has added many powerful features since it was first introduced:

• Improvements to app speed and responsiveness: Improvements to caching, switching to Apache Arrow for serialization and memory management updates have resulted in major gains for speed and responsiveness
• Customization with app layout primitives and theming: Columns, sidebar, wide mode, expanders, dark mode and customizable themes mean that users can now lay out their apps and match it to their ideal style of company brand
• Ability to create complex apps by adding statefulness: With the addition of Session State and forms, users can now choose when their app re-runs and it lets users do complex things like pagination, annotation or even creating games
• An amazing ecosystem of components and integrations: Users can extend their apps even further by writing their own components or use ones from the community including integrations, more libraries like SpaCy, HiPlot, Folium and Observable and new functionality like sending and receiving video or drawing on a canvas
