tinytest2JUnit: report your tinytest results in the CI

June 20, 2024

tinytest2JUnit: report your tinytest results in the CI Introduction “Lightweight is the right weight” is the motto of packages adhering to the tinyverse principle. One of the packages following this principle is the tinytest package, a zero-dependency unit testing framework. It is a nice alternative to the heavy-weight testthat testing framework, which (at the time of writing and including its recursive dependencies) has a dependency footprint of 30 packages!

ShinyProxy is a novel, open source platform to deploy Shiny apps for the enterprise or larger organizations.

Spreadsheets and robust backends: a love story?

February 12, 2023

The source of every data science project is a dataset or even multiple. In general, scientists prefer to share data using a spreadsheet. This allows to quickly explore, enter and modify data. Software developers on the other hand, prefer to build around properly designed schemes and backends that ensure data integrity. Whoever wins this battle decides where the data is stored: in a type of spreadsheet file or in some kind of database.

Complete monitoring stack for ShinyProxy on Kubernetes

September 22, 2022

Introduction For some time now, ShinyProxy is able to export metrics using Prometheus. After releasing this feature, we provided a dashboard for Grafana to visualize these metrics. Although this provides a good basis to build a monitoring setup around ShinyProxy, it does not provide insights in logs or resource usage of individual apps. To fill this gap, we are publishing a GitHub repository containing a comprehensive monitoring set up for ShinyProxy on Kubernetes.

Rotating log files in Rust, and reassembling them for inspection

February 15, 2022

Context Open Analytics is working on a huge data processing pipeline in the context of high-content imaging. The latest work to this end is a new product that will work in conjunction with Phaedra as part of the pipeline which now covers much more ground than before. The entire backend of this new component is written in Rust and consists of several web servers. Proper log rotation has been a focus as of late, since it is critical to be able to keep on top of things in this massive processing pipeline.

ShinyProxy 2.4.0

October 12, 2020

ShinyProxy is a novel, open source platform to deploy Shiny apps for the enterprise or larger organizations. Full Kubernetes Support One of the main advantages of ShinyProxy is the use of plugable container back-ends which allows people to use ShinyProxy on a plain Docker host, on a Docker Swarm cluster or on internet-scale Kubernetes cluster in the cloud. The way organizations have been deploying ShinyProxy on Kubernetes clusters has grown exponentially and providing a means to configure ShinyProxy tailored to the specific Kubernetes setup became more important.

ShinyProxy 2.2.0

March 24, 2019

ShinyProxy is a novel, open source platform to deploy Shiny apps for the enterprise or larger organizations. Secured Embedding of Shiny Apps Since version 2.0.1 ShinyProxy provides a REST API to manage (launch, shut down) Shiny apps and consume the content programmatically inside broader web applications or portals. This allows to cleanly separate the responsiblity for the Shiny apps (data science teams) and those broader applications (IT teams) while still achieving seamless integration between the two from the user’s perspective.
