Recording from our April 20 virtual meetup.
R Shiny is a great framework that is easy-to-use and helps data scientists quickly re-use their code for basic interactive dashboards. Have you ever wondered how it can be used in real life and how much you can do with it?
We have accumulated a few interesting findings in a past project where we built a complicated Shiny dashboard and deployed it on Kubernetes. This dashboard displayed analysis and visualization based on a huge amount of proprietary data in Snowflake. We went on experimenting in many areas to push for a pleasant user perception and experience beyond a functional dashboard. The goal to productize the dashboard for at least hundreds of concurrent users to connect also drove us to optimize the performance such as resource utilization as much as possible.
In this talk, we’d like to share a few lessons we learned during this journey, and hopefully they can help you avoid some pitfalls in the future.
