I’m curious what companies out there are using Posit’s cloud tools like Workbench, Connect and Posit Package Manager and if anyone has used them.

Pharma uses a lot of R for manufacturing and clinical trials, which means a lot of Posit. R has many drawbacks, but statistics and data manipulation are not two of them. We can now use Posit to run Python. Delicious.
We use CRAN packages as well as ones that we build and maintain ourselves using RSPM (RStudio Pkg manager, now Posit). We utilize a lot of bioconductor packages in Pharma because of all the genomics and bioinformatics that we do.
Naturally, we utilize Workbench; in addition, we develop a lot of beautiful apps, and Posit Connect deployment is quite simple. similar to the simplest. While we once deployed on RStudio Server, Posit Connect is far superior.

We intend to increase its usage for internal use. Currently, we utilize it for a few lightweight apps.
Deploying basic applications in this manner is frequently less complicated than navigating AWS permissions and other challenges.
We employ it for:
Specific types of dashboarding
A rudimentary instance for handling chron-style interactions across several services (such as monitoring multiple items in Snowflake and sending Slack notifications based on those items)
Applications in the form of forms, where it surpasses Google Forms by being constructed in Python and stored in version control, and outperforms numerous alternatives in simply confirming the user’s identification in our company-wide account without requiring any users to register for or get familiar with a new tool.

The first time I saw it being used was during my Statistics Masters from a professor, either than that I haven’t encountered it again, maybe I should check it out myself.
