shinyapps.io User Guide

Introduction

shinyapps.io is a self-service platform that makes it easy for you to share your shiny applications on the web in just a few minutes. Many customers use shinyapps.io to prove out some concepts, build out a prototype, or just run it for a short period of time for their own purposes, while others are using it as a core component of their analytical offerings within a larger online property.

The service runs in the cloud on shared servers that are operated by Posit. Each application is self-contained and operates on either data that is uploaded with the application, or data that the code pulls from third-party data stores, such as databases or web services.

If you have general questions about how shinyapps.io works, or how you can get your apps to run well on shinyapps.io, please join us in the shinyapps.io Community.
