What You’ll Learn
Pedro Silva will explore scaling and infrastructure issues common when deploying large scale Shiny apps, and how to overcome them.
For a Data Scientist, Shiny can be an amazing tool when it comes to creating fast and powerful prototypes and dashboards. But what to do when your application becomes TOO popular and more and more people want to use it?
As the number of users grows, keeping up with the demand of a Shiny application can be tricky, and there is only so much you can do to improve performance at the code level.
In this presentation I will be giving an overview of our approach to improving Shiny dashboards performance on an infrastructure level, as well as tips to scaling Shiny dashboards to hundreds of concurrent users while keeping your budget under control.
