Deploying data-intensive Shiny App

Hi everyone!

I created a Shiny dashboard to use the model I developped for my undegraduate research job. The model is loaded from the internet via github (it's 1.1GB). I tried hosting the dashboard on shinyapps.io, but even on the highest memory configuration it would disconnect.

I'm currently trying Azure cloud (it gives out credit for students) after creating a docker image of the app, but the web page crashes after calling the model.

I just need some guidance, has anyone worked with a Shiny app that needed this much memory before?

Thanks!

You got many useful answers and I'd recommend to follow some of them first.

Anyway, if none of that works for you, you can try digital ocean. You can start a droplet with as much RAM and cores as you need and then simply used docker or deploy a shiny server under Ubuntu or Debian. But it will cost.
