How does R handle distributed state management in Shiny applications?
Updated May 24, 2026
Short answer
Shiny manages state per session, requiring external systems for distributed or persistent state.
Deep explanation
Each Shiny session is isolated, so distributed state must be handled via Redis, databases, or APIs. This ensures scalability across multiple Shiny server instances.
