Industry Specialties: Serves all industries

Dash is an open-source Python library that helps data scientists create web interfaces to leverage Plotly’s data visualization and analytics applications.

Plotly Dash Benefits and Insights

Why use Plotly Dash?

Key differentiators & advantages of Plotly Dash

  • Advanced Analytics: Create, customize and deploy apps on web and mobile, with minimal code required. Connect to multiple data services that include Snowflake, Redshift, PostgreSQL, Google BigQuery and many more. 
  • App Customization: Design the app’s look and feel via CSS and default styles from a vendor-provided core style guide, or add custom features. 
  • Data Visualization: Ships with an interactive Graph component that allows easy hover, click and select actions on graphs. Create interactive applications with sliders, dropdowns and map scientific, financial and business charts in 2D and 3D through the plotly.js graphing library. 
  • App Management: Deploy, manage and share apps with all teams through a central admin portal. Leverage separate App Managers for an app’s instances on testing, UAT and production environments. 
  • Easy Authentication: Focus on operationalizing data analytics models; perform authentication through middleware that supports easy access through LDAP, OAuth, SSO and simple email authentication — no need to hard-code identity management features within the app. 
  • Optimize Performance: Perform fast numerical computations, compile Python code and identify workflow blockers. Handles incoming requests quicker through job queueing while offloading long-running queries or CPU-intensive tasks on the back end. 
  • Scalable Multitenancy: A Dash app is stateless by design — multiple teams can access and use the application at the same time. Scales easily to service a larger request load and supports Kubernetes and Docker applications. 
  • Open Source: Import and download its Core, DAQ, Bio and HTML components into Python, R and Julia-based apps. Maximize its functionality through community-contributed attributes, such as Dash Trich Components, Material UI, Pivottable, Tabulator, the Download Component and many more. 
  • Dash Enterprise App Gallery: The vendor provides a public instance of its App Manager on Azure Kubernetes that runs more than 60 apps available to all.
