Times Square

Times Square is a Rubin Science Platform (RSP) service for displaying parameterized Jupyter Notebooks as websites.

Excellent applications for Times Square include:

  • Engineering dashboards

  • Quick-look data previewing

  • Reports that incorporate live data sources

The design and architecture of Times Square is described in SQR-062: The Times Square service for publishing parameterized Jupyter Notebooks in the Rubin Science platform. Times Square uses Noteburst (GitHub, SQR-065) to execute Jupyter Notebooks in Nublado (JupyterLab) instances, thereby mechanizing the RSP’s notebook aspect.

This Times Square API service is developed at lsst-sqre/times-square. It’s user interface is part of Squareone. Times Square is deployed with Phalanx.
