How You Get Value as a 1-Person Posit Connect Team
summary
Sole developer at a 45‑person VC firm proves a 30‑day trial scales: installs Posit Connect on a Google Cloud VM, builds automated pipelines that run every two hours, exposes ML models as FastAPI endpoints, and serves Shiny and Streamlit apps with per‑team access control. Uses blastula to send conditional alerts that catch a third‑party vendor leaking tracked emails, wins COO approval, keeps a backup VM image after a failed Linux update, and moves from one‑off reports to reliable, production deployments.
