October useR Group: Shiny in Production!

Shiny in Production!
Presented by Sean Lopp, RStudio

Abstract:
Shiny is an R package that makes it easy to build interactive web apps straight from R, a language not traditionally known for web frameworks, to say the least. As such, Shiny has always faced questions about whether it can or should be used “in production”. In this talk, we’ll explore what “production” even means, review some of the historical obstacles and objections to using Shiny for production purposes, and discuss practices and tools that can help your Shiny apps flourish.
