R in production
summary
Argues R is production-ready and that the real blockers are cultural not technical, defining production as anything run repeatedly that the business relies on. Describes two adoption paths: quick magic demos (Shiny) versus the slower path of building IT confidence with testing, staging, CI/CD and clear release processes. Gives concrete examples: installs RStudio Connect, runs Shiny tests, and builds an internal CRAN of about 80 vetted packages to avoid shipping CRAN’s 13,000 packages — solution clears security and works.
