Jumping Rivers reimplemented an existing Shiny app using standard web technologies, achieving Web Content Accessibility Guideline compliance. The Shiny app was divided into a front-end and back-end component, using AWS Lambda to create a scalable and serverless R backend. Infrastructure was codified with Terraform, with the deployment and application life-cycle controlled with GitHub Actions.

In 2019, The Francis Crick Institute requested that we add Python training for their researchers off the back of the existing R training program we had with them.

Public Health Scotland logo

The IT infrastructure for Public Health Scotland is managed by National Services Scotland, who came to Jumping Rivers with an existing Posit (formerly RStudio) deployment that was unable to provide a stable and reliable platform at a scale that met the requirements. Issues included inconsistent package versioning, which caused analyses that ran on one node to fail on another.

In spring of 2020 Northumbrian Water engaged with Jumping Rivers to build a modelling solution to better understand risks to the consumer within their network in order to provide a better service.

NHS logo

In the spring of 2018, NHS Scotland expressed a need to move from their existing software, SPSS and SAS, to using R. The difficulty they faced was that there are over two hundred data scientists in NHS Scotland, which made training everyone in the new software a logistical challenge.

Jumping Rivers created a data pipeline and visualisation dashboard for public and policy maker consumption. The aim was to increase transparency and encourage positive change to the workplace environment. The application allows exploration of key performance indicators stratified by a host of protected characteristics.
