Chapter 23 What is Next

This book covered many aspects of hosting Shiny applications from how the Shiny application runs to the different options for distributing your Shiny application to a wider audience.

We have explored many different ways of hosting shiny from click-button publishing platforms to self-hosted containerized solutions. But Shiny hosting is an ever changing landscape. Options we took for granted might disappear while new ones will appear. We will do our best to keep the online version of the book up-to-date to reflect these changes.

However, the journey of Shiny hosting does not end here, you may wish to further optimize your Shiny hosting, and explore other options such as orchestrating more containers on a cluster. We hope that this book will serve a good foundation for that.
