 Most of the below setup will be done for you automatically if you choose one of the devcontainer options above, so feel free to skip to the [Extract and Load](#-extract-and-load-) section if you're using one of those. Please note that while devcontainers are very neat and probably the future, they also add some mental overhead and complexity at their present stage of development that somewhat offsets the ease of use and reproducibility they bring to the table. I personally prefer local development still for most things.

It's from the makers of `ruff`, the very, very fast linter this here project uses. It's still in early development, but it's really impressive, I use it personally instead of `pip` now. You can [install it here](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) and get going with this project a bit faster (at least less time waiting on `pip`). In my experience so far it works best as a global tool, so we don't install it in your .venv, we don't require it, and this guide will use `pip` for the time being, but I except that to change soon.

The first match your computer gets it will run that command. What the `activate` script does is make sure the virtual environment folder we just created gets put at the front of that list. This means that when you run `python` or `dbt` or `pip` it will look in the virtual environment folder first, and if it finds a match it will run that. This is how we can install specific versions of packages like `dbt` and `duckdb` into our project and not have to worry about them conflicting with other versions of those packages in other projects.

 ## 🦆 Extract and Load 📥
 
-Extract and load is the process of taking data from one source, like an API, and loading it into another source, typically a data warehouse. In our case our source is the GitHub Archive, and our load targets are either: local, [MotherDuck](https://motherduck.com/), or [S3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_S3).

 ### 💻 Local usage 💾
 
 You've go two options here: you can [run the `el` scripts directly](#-running-the-el-script-directly-%EF%B8%8F) or you can use the configured [task runner](#-task-runner-%EF%B8%8F) to make things a little easier. We recommend the latter, but it's up to you. If you're using one of the devcontainer options above Task is already installed for you.
 
 If you run the script directly, it takes two arguments: a start and end datetime string, both formatted as `'YYYY-MM-DD-HH'`. It is inclusive of both, so for example running `python el.py '2023-09-01-01' '2023-09-01-02'` will load _two_ hours: 1am and 2am on September 9th 2023. Pass the same argument for both to pull just that hour.
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> **Careful of data size**. DuckDB is an in-process database engine, which means it runs primarily in memory. This is great for speed and ease of use, but it also means that it's (somewhat) limited by the amount of memory on your machine. The GitHub Archive data is event data that stretches back years, so is very large, and you'll likely run into memory issues if you try to load more than a few days of data at a time. We recommend using a single hour locally when developing. When you want to go bigger for production use you'll probably want to leverage the option below.

+If you're comfortable with S3 and want to pull a larger amount of data, we've got you covered there as well. The `el-modal.py` script leverages the incredible Modal platform to pull data and upload it to S3 in parallelized, performant cloud containers. It works pretty much like the regular `el.py` script, you supply it with start and end datetime string in `'YYYY-MM-DD-HH'` format, and it goes to town. Modal currently gives you $30 of free credits a month, which is more than enough to pull quite a bit of data.

+> [!NOTE] > **S3? Yes, Please**. S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a cloud storage service from Amazon Web Services. It's a very popular choice for data storage and is used by many data warehouses, including MotherDuck. It's a great place to store large amounts of data, and it's very cheap. It's also very easy to use, and you can access it from the command line with the AWS CLI, or from Python with the `boto3` package. It uses "buckets" to store more or less anything, which you can then configure to allow varying levels of access. AWS can be intimidating to get started with, so we'll include a more detailed walkthrough when this is ready.

+### 📊 Developing pages for Evidence ⚡
+
+Evidence uses Markdown and SQL to create beautiful data products. It's powerful and simple, focusing on what matters: the _information_. You can add and edit markdown pages in the `./reports/pages/` directory, and SQL queries those pages can reference in the `./reports/queries/` directory. You can also put queries inline in the Markdown files inside of code fences, although stylistically this project prefers queries go in SQL files in the `queries` directory for reusability and clarity. Because Evidence uses a WASM DuckDB implementation to make pages dynamic, you can even chain queries together, referencing other queries as the input to your new query. We recommend you utilize this to keep queries tight and super readable. CTEs in the BI section's queries are a sign that you might want to chunk your query up into a chain for flexibility and clarity. Sources point to the raw tables, either in your local DuckDB database file or in MotherDuck if you're running prod mode. You add a `select * [model]` query to the `./reports/sources/` directory and re-run `npm run sources --prefix ./reports` and you're good to go.
+
+Evidence's dev server uses hot reloading, so you can see your changes in real time as you develop. It's a really neat tool, and I'm excited to see what you build with it.
