I have published a shiny app (I have both Python and R versions). The app is an interactive map dasboard that I would like to share with a few users (10 people) to review the functionality for feedback.
My question(s):
What happens if more than 1 users open the app concurrently? will they still be able to interact with the app independently? (My concern stems from the fact that this not possible for an app that is running locally on my PC since R runs as one process on the machine.)
If the issue above is a non-issue for apps published on Posit Connect Cloud, will access by multiple concurrent users affect the speed of the app? (My map is already veeery slow, I am still looking for ways to optimize it further)
I have the same issue, I need a lot of more concurrent users than you and I don't know if connect cloud is the proper solution. However, I do know that this depends on your app and its resource usage. If you run out of ram you won't be able to serve more sessions of the app.
Yes, each user will be able to interact with your content independently. Whether or not the speed of the app is affected by 10 users will depend on your application though.
We currently do not scale your app horizontally (multiple instances) but that is on the roadmap, so in the meantime, there are limits to how many users can be concurrently supported.

Since my app works just fine on my 8GB PC, I was hoping running the app in Posit Connect Cloud under the Basic plan would be Ok. In my RStudio's environment panel, I can see the app consumes 1.05GB. Does this mean the app would only support around 7 users under the Basic plan?
Unfortunately, Its difficult to say exactly how many users would be supported as every app is different. Its not necessarily the case that the memory used will go up linearly with the number of users.
