I dunno, I was able to cobble together a timeseries forecast API using the plummer and forecast packages in an afternoon that a product team was then able to work against to create demos for customers. Yeah, they’d probably eventually want to rewrite the API to be “production ready.” But on the other hand, for prototyping and getting to show something real to prospective customers? Pure dynamite. Even then, if the stats being done in the background were hard to reimplement, I suppose plummer & R could still work with the right cloud / load balancing infra. Might end up being more expensive than it needs to be in the final iteration, but in the meantime money could be flowing in and customers gettin’ happy.
