These tutorials demonstrate older patterns that remain supported for backward compatibility.

About Legacy Tutorials

The tutorials in this section show approaches that are still functional but have been superseded by more modern workflows:

• Modelling on Disk - Shows file-based I/O patterns. Modern code typically uses in-memory workflows with return_array or return_dataframe for better performance and flexibility.

When to Use

These patterns remain useful when:

• You need to match existing workflows from older code

• You’re working with very large datasets that don’t fit in memory

• You need persistent output files for archival purposes

Modern Alternatives

For new projects, we recommend:

• In-Memory Modelling - More flexible and performant

• Model Objects - Object-oriented API with cleaner interfaces
