RStudio Meetup: Making microservices a part of your data science team
Led by Tom Schenk & Bejan Sadeghian at KPMG
Abstract:
Whether or not you’ve heard of microservices architecture, you may want to know how microservices can help you scale R-based applications across an enterprise.
As data science teams—and their applications—grow larger, teams can experience growing pains that make applications complex, difficult to customize, or challenging to collaborate across large teams. This meetup will discuss what microservices are, how it compares to Shiny, how it can help a data science team, and how you can deploy microservices using your RStudio Connect environment.
This meetup will help you understand several key items:
• The basic concept of microservices and benefits, such as making your code modular, domain-driven design, and reducing the complexity of application development, and facilitate larger development teams.
• How to use the Plumber package to deploy APIs as part of a microservices architecture.
• How you can work with front-end development teams using their preferred framework (e.g., React, Angular, Vue) using RStudio Connect.
We will show a widely-used application built using a microservices architecture and hosted in RStudio, including before-and-after comparisons to show the strengths of a microservices framework leads to a better-looking and better-functioning application. Our team will discuss the journey and growth to arrive at the new approach to make development easier within a quickly growing group.
