Taking your Shiny app from an analytical idea or research output to a fully operational, well-designed and robust piece of software accessed by many users can be highly frustrating. It is often where things fall apart, despite skill and enthusiasm. There is a big step involved in getting from a prototype or first version to a final, deployable 'production' version. This involves making sure that critical success factors such as user experience, authentication, hosting and data permissions are addressed, as end users will have high expectations and may use the application in unexpected ways!

In this webinar, we will discuss pain points and practical solutions involved with scaling a Shiny app into production.  We will touch on topics like data access, code modularisation, design considerations, performance profiling and tuning, and provide examples from our own experiences in building production grade Shiny apps across many domains and levels of complexity.
