Launch a Notebook

Select and launch the appropriate TileDB notebook server environment for your analytics.

TileDB provides a managed “notebook” environment for interactive, web-browser based execution and interaction with Python and R code running on TileDB servers within a web-browser frontend environment (built around Jupyter with extensions for use with TileDB datasets).

Server types

Notebooks may run on several different server types depending on the needs of a given analysis. TileDB provides notebook server types ranging from 2 vCPU / 8 GB RAM to 128 vCPU / 1 TB RAM.

Execution images

The TileDB managed notebook environment includes a wide range of commonly used Python and R packages. These environments are built using the completely free, community-driven conda forge package collection and the mamba package manager. Contact us to discuss adding new notebook environment packages, and for customization options.
