Get started

Hello there! This is your first step to becoming an expert at taking R applications to production. In this section you will find many tutorial articles that will help you get up and running with the prodverse.

Shiny in production with the prodverse is a tutorial that will take you through the process of building a very minimal Shiny application with user authentication and deploying it to a server with replicas and load balancing using faucet and tapLock. (The app in the tutorial is very minimal and not particularly useful, but it is a good starting point for understanding the prodverse.)

Scaling Plumber with faucet is a tutorial that will walk you through the process of scaling a Plumber API with faucet. First you will install faucet and test it out locally, then you will use Docker to build a container image for your API. The API will be slow to show how faucet will attempt to make it faster by adding replicas and load balancing.
