What would you do if your python code needs to retrieve and process a very large dataset — one that exceeds the available operational memory of your machine?

Use streaming or chunked processing instead of loading everything into memory. Apply generators or iterators to read data lazily. Use out-of-core libraries such as Dask, Vaex, or DuckDB for large-scale processing. Store and access numerical data with memory-mapped arrays (e.g., NumPy memmap). Move data to a database or columnar storage format and query only what you need. Redesign algorithms for incremental or batch computation (e.g., partial_fit in ML). Optimize data representation using efficient data types to reduce memory footprint.
