Solutions
To achieve this goal, empirica regio has relied for years on eoda’s expertise in data science and data infrastructure. The starting point was building competence in Shiny development.
At the heart of the collaboration is the design and implementation of a customized deployment solution for delivering Shiny applications and Plumber APIs. The scalable eoda solution is based on Kubernetes and provides a fully automated CI/CD pipeline via Git.
With this setup, Shiny applications are automatically deployed on the Kubernetes infrastructure after every commit, accelerating release cycles and reducing manual effort.
eoda continues to support empirica regio in the strategic development of its data infrastructure and the implementation of key components such as:
- Postgres server: installation, hardening, and configuration
- Monitoring system: new setup for existing and new server systems, including email notifications
- Nextcloud server: reinstallation and configuration
To ensure reliable operation of the data infrastructure, eoda also supports empirica regio in the area of maintenance.
Result
With eoda’s support, empirica regio has achieved smooth and convenient data delivery. Even more: by building a customized deployment solution based on open-source technologies, empirica regio has become more independent and flexible – extending far beyond the deployment of Shiny applications. The company benefits both from the high satisfaction of its clients with the new solution and from the elimination of license costs for proprietary alternatives.
"With eoda’s support, we have significantly improved data delivery for our clients over the past years. The new CI/CD pipeline has greatly simplified our deployment processes. With eoda, we have found a partner that strategically supports us in advancing our data infrastructure and develops solutions tailored precisely to our needs."
