Bento: Meta’s Internal Take on Jupyter Notebooks
On the latest Meta Tech Podcast episode, host Pascal Hartig sits down with Steve, an engineer behind Meta’s internal distribution of Jupyter Notebooks, known as Bento. The platform lets engineers mix code, text, and multimedia in a single document, supporting everything from quick prototyping to complex machine learning workflows.
Steve’s team has extended the open-source Jupyter experience with several internal features, including:
- Scheduled notebook execution
- Sharing notebooks with colleagues
- Running notebooks without a remote server, via WebAssembly in the browser
The episode is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and Overcast. You can also send feedback to the Meta Tech Podcast on Instagram, Threads, or X.
