Route 53 resolves incoming requests and forwards those onto AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) for security checks.

Route 53 is a DNS service for incoming requests.

R users access RStudio Server and Shiny App via Amazon Route 53.

RStudio/Shiny Open Source Deployment on AWS Serverless Infrastructure It ensures that the infrastructure your containers run on is always up to date with the required patches.įigure 1.

Fargate is a serverless container service that provides compute capacity for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).ĪWS Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation.

This AWS architecture can be implemented on AWS Fargate using RStudio open source. You are only responsible for managing the containerized application. All the components in this architecture use serverless infrastructure: compute, storage, network, data transfer, orchestration, perimeter security, logging, and monitoring. This follows best practices as suggested in AWS Well-Architected Framework. This blog post discusses a scalable, secure, and serverless architecture pattern on AWS to host RStudio Server and Shiny App. You can scale to the need of users accessing the dashboard visualizations. If you run RStudio on our proposed architecture, you can focus on building applications instead of managing the infrastructure. Migrating R workloads into a serverless model in AWS, customers can benefit from managed infrastructure, scalability, and security. Although it is possible to use virtual server infrastructure in the cloud to run R workloads, containerization offers significant operational benefits. Data scientists use RStudio server as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to develop, publish, and share interactive web dashboards built on Shiny Server.
