Plotly vs sivirep: at a glance
What is Plotly?
Plotly is turning its cloud into a metered compute platform with an enterprise on-ramp.
Plotly ships on two tracks. Plotly Studio, the desktop AI app-builder, releases every one to two weeks and has spent v0.0.80 through v0.0.86 on credential handling, reasoning transparency, personalization and now the reliability of the agent session engine itself. Plotly Cloud is the louder track: since late May it has added viewer-seat pricing, domain verification, per-app compute modes with credit-metered billing, and customer-owned domains with managed TLS.
What is sivirep?
sivirep turned Colombia's SIVIGILA surveillance data into a one-call reporting package.
The 1.0.0 release of December 2024 is the substance of this feed: incidence calculation and plotting for the country, departments and municipalities, ethnicity and case-classification breakdowns, multi-year retrospectives, and a Reporte Evento template that assembles them. It was shaped by usability testing and expert review with Colombia's National Institute of Health. The two patches since are fixes, warnings and documentation.

◆ Current state
Plotly ships on two tracks. Plotly Studio, the desktop AI app-builder, releases every one to two weeks and has spent v0.0.80 through v0.0.86 on credential handling, reasoning transparency, personalization and now the reliability of the agent session engine itself. Plotly Cloud is the louder track: since late May it has added viewer-seat pricing, domain verification, per-app compute modes with credit-metered billing, and customer-owned domains with managed TLS.
◆ Where it's heading
The Cloud releases are assembling the standard pieces of a hosting business in order — identity first (domain verification, explicitly framed as the step before SSO), then billing (viewer seats, then metered compute credits), and now production-grade serving (custom domains, automatic certificate renewal). Studio is being hardened as the authoring front end that feeds it: Universal Deployment pushed beyond Dash apps, credentials saved once and reused, a Winget channel to widen Windows installs, and in v0.0.86 a rebuilt session engine plus automatic retries so agent runs survive expired tokens. The two tracks converge on one funnel — author in Studio, deploy to Cloud, pay by compute consumed.
◆ Prediction
The Domain Verification entry names SSO as the next step and places it in the Enterprise tier, so single sign-on is the most likely Cloud release next. Studio should hold its one-to-two-week cadence, with the newly added app thumbnails pointing toward more work on browsing and organizing generated apps.

0.0ANALYTICS
sivirep turned Colombia's SIVIGILA surveillance data into a one-call reporting package.
◆ Current state
The 1.0.0 release of December 2024 is the substance of this feed: incidence calculation and plotting for the country, departments and municipalities, ethnicity and case-classification breakdowns, multi-year retrospectives, and a Reporte Evento template that assembles them. It was shaped by usability testing and expert review with Colombia's National Institute of Health. The two patches since are fixes, warnings and documentation.
◆ Where it's heading
Work after 1.0.0 has gone into making the report template survive bad input rather than adding analyses — warnings when a municipality or department has no data, handlers that surface import and geo-filter errors during rendering, and an explicit note that first use of any import function needs an internet connection. English-language articles were added alongside the Spanish function interface.
◆ Prediction
Spanish-named functions paired with new English articles point at a widening audience; more translation of the guides looks likelier than new epidemiological methods.
