Welcome to Plotly’s monthly newsletter, where we share everything new and exciting in the data app development sphere. November was packed with events, headlines, and community ❤️ — read all about it below:
🗞️ Dash Enterprise 5.2 introduces centralized data app development
Last month, we announced the upcoming Dash Enterprise 5.2 launch. As a follow up, we highlight the centralized data app management capabilities the release brings. 5.2 will enable easier management and deployment of Streamlit and Django apps, enabling cross-functional teams working on multiple projects to unify under a single platform.
Additionally, we share how we’re accelerating data app development with more efficient app management, deployment, and scaling. It introduces Dash Enterprise CLI, Shortcuts with shareable Deep Links, Viewer Analytics, and refreshed app themes, enhancing the data app developer experience within our platform.
To explore further, check out our new Centralized Data App Management page.
