Plotly Dash
the six Ws · specification
Analytics and data science teams building production dashboards without a dedicated frontend engineer.
Dash is Plotly's open source Python (also R and Julia) framework for building analytical web applications and dashboards backed by React components.
Self-hosted as a Flask app, or deployed to Plotly's commercial Dash Enterprise hosting platform.
Chosen when a team needs polished, callback-driven interactive charts and forms wired directly to Python data pipelines.
It pairs tightly with the widely used Plotly.js charting library and scales from prototypes to enterprise deployments.
Built on Flask, React, and Plotly.js, with an optional commercial Dash Enterprise tier for scaling and auth.
Open source core, MIT licensed, self-hosted by default with a paid enterprise option, over 24000 GitHub stars.
