Scaling up your ipywidgets app

The problem

We at Widgetti, the creators of Solara, have regularly seen companies struggle trying to scale up their ipywidgets apps.

These app often start as a prototype or a small app in the Jupyter notebook, and become important internal apps. Together with Voila it allows companies to quickly deploy an app internally. However, as the app grows, the complexity of the app grows as well and the app becomes harder to maintain and scale, and extend and testing is often an afterthought.

Our solution

If you are in this position, you are not alone. We have seen this happen many times and we have helped many companies to scale up their ipywidgets apps. This can go from small improvements to the app, to a complete rewrite of the app. We often recomment an incremental approach, where we make sure the app gets tested properly, and gradually introduce best practices to the app and your team as well as introducing modern state management techniques.

We continuously do code review and assist your team in making the app more maintainable and scalable. We can also help with the deployment of the app.

Over time, we phase out our involvement and make sure your team is able to maintain and extend the app themselves. We can also provide training and workshops if needed.
