Content items

ricochet supports deploying R and Julia based content. Content items are categorize as either a service or as a task item.

A service is one that requires an active runtime such as plumber or shiny.

A task is one that runs to completion such as R/Julia scripts and Quarto documents.

All tasks can be scheduled (or invoked via API). A subset of tasks can be served as a static html website—for example R Markdown and Quarto documents or websites.
