Reasoning for doing this is:
I want to run the app in GCP so I can load the latest data to generate figures and metrics and with Cloud Build, each user will see a fresh server, that pulls the latest data. So that is solved regardless of the website technology.
I think everything is going to be rendered when the app instance is launched, so I don't need Shiny or anything. This blog post indicates you need to use Shiny to serve dynamic content, but I'm not sure what that means. Regardless, I don't think we need it.
So then, the value of using Quarto is you can see the actual code/queries that are being used to generate each result. I could copy-paste code/queries into a web page but then there is no functional connection to the results and so you have to apply significant effort to keep everything in sync.
Overview
I want to create a website for publishing summary information about all our data releases. I want to have live statistics and figures that update as data or code changes. I also want to share the results and methods.
