There's a new Plumber in town
summary
Plumber2 is a complete rewrite of plumber that keeps familiar Roxygen-style annotations but uses Roxygen2 under the hood, adds richer input/output schemas, and enables true async endpoints async via Mirai with an @async and @then workflow. It can launch and reverse-proxy Shiny apps as first-class processes, serve parameterized Quarto reports with caching, and ships security plugins for CORS, headers and resource isolation. The package is on CRAN review now and has breaking changes but is designed for gradual migration rather than immediate replacement.
