RStudio Cloud (Managed Service)

▲ ▼

description RStudio Cloud (Managed Service) Overview

This represents the managed, cloud-hosted version of RStudio, distinct from the self-hosted Workbench. It offers a pay-as-you-go model for immediate access without the overhead of managing the underlying infrastructure. It is excellent for small teams or individuals who need enterprise-grade features without the DevOps team required for self-hosting the full Workbench solution.

help RStudio Cloud (Managed Service) FAQ

Is RStudio Cloud the same as installing RStudio on my laptop?

No, RStudio Cloud is a browser-hosted managed service, so the provider runs the workspace and underlying infrastructure. A local RStudio Desktop installation uses your own computer, while the Cloud service is accessed through a web browser.

Why is the service now called Posit Cloud?

Posit Cloud is the current product name associated with the hosted service formerly known as RStudio Cloud. RStudio remains a familiar IDE name, but Posit is the company brand behind products such as Posit Cloud and Workbench.

How is Posit Cloud different from Posit Workbench?

Posit Cloud is hosted for you, while Workbench is an enterprise environment that an organization typically deploys and manages for its users. The two support R and data-science workflows, but they have different infrastructure and administration models.

Can I use both R and Python in the managed service?

Posit Cloud supports browser-based data-science workspaces centered on R, with Python support available in supported project environments. Check the current plan and runtime options because language versions and compute limits can change.
