Shiny Pro vs. Open Source

Both

  • Host multiple applications simultaneously, each at its own URL.
  • Support web browsers that don't support WebSocket, including Internet Explorer 8 & 9.
  • Enable system users to develop and manage their own Shiny applications.
  • Ensure that R processes that crash or are terminated automatically restart for the next user requesting the application.

Pro Only

  • Ensure your applications are protected and can only be accessed by specific, authenticated users. (We can do this ourselves using Auth0.com)
  • Securely encrypt data being sent to and from your applications using SSL. (We can do this ourselves using Nginx and Let's Encrypt.)
  • Scale a Shiny application to support many users by empowering a Shiny application to be backed by multiple R Shiny processes simultaneously.
  • Gain insight into the performance and usage of your Shiny applications by monitoring them using a web dashboard. (aka the Admin panel)
  • Understand and manage current and historical application resource utilization to better configure and optimize your applications.
  • Fine-tune the resources devoted to each user of an application by configuring multi-process Shiny applications based on the number of concurrent sessions.
  • Monitor the health of your Shiny Server using the health check endpoint.

Conclusion

Det eneste potensielt relevante som vi mangler med Open-Source versjonen, er admin-siden (som inneholder litt generell statistikk) og multi-process R, så vidt jeg kan se. Hvis dere kan klare dere uten dette, så bør Shiny Server Open-Source fungere fint!
