there is Dash (https://plot.ly/products/dash/ https://plot.ly/products/dash/) and there is Jupyter. I wish there was some abstraction to generate a Dash like output from Jupyter. There are a lot of people who would pay serious money for that. Even Airbnb built a framework to extract code from Jupyter notebooks and push them into a machine learning pipeline (https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/using-machine-learning-to-predict-value-of-homes-on-airbnb-9272d3d4739d https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/using-machine-learning...). Jupyter can be so much more by going closer to how it fits within a production pipeline versus just competing against Rstudio.

There have been a couple attempts to add dashboarding to Jupyter: https://github.com/jupyter/dashboards https://github.com/jupyter/dashboards was/is a dashboard system built by a team at IBM. I think the project stalled somewhat after IBM stopped funding it. There are a few long threads in the currently active jupyter repos about building dashboard systems as extensions: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/1640 https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/1640, https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets/issues/2018 https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets/issues/2018.

  I was searching for such dashboard utility and I found this: https://github.com/oschuett/appmode https://github.com/oschuett/appmode It may be useful for some of the cases.

Also I always thought notebooks would be a great devops tool, kind of like a super command line that has easily observable steps grouped in chunks and graphical feedback. No one else seems to think so though so maybe I'm wrong.

  That makes good sense, in case it helps your confidence. It's a middle ground between literate programming and a traditional IDE and there is nothing like that aimed at the ops space where it would actually be quite valuable.

    emacs' org-mode / org-babel is well suited for it. This blog post [1] has some fantastic examples. The problem, of course, is that it's so closely tied to emacs. 1: http://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-devops.html http://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-devops.html

      Nice, I just posted the video from that link above ;) Great minds think alike!

        Howard's blog and github are an amazing resource; I'm a huge fan of his demo-it package as well. Highly recommend checking it out if you ever give technical presentations or talks.

  As disclaimer/context, am a dev on the Azure hosted Jupyter Notebooks product, You're not wrong! (Or at the least, it's a topic that has come across our ears before, and is something I certainly agree with) Obviously I probably shouldn't go off spouting all the pipe dreams I have in this space, but given that I got my start doing Ops work and tried to keep an eye for things I might have liked back then, I can assure you there you're not alone. I always saw the similarity foremost as a direct upgrade to the "runbooks"/"firefighting/deploy checklists" that crop up all too often.
