Posit Workbench
Enterprise Development Environment for Data Science
A secure, centralized development environment that enables data science teams to work collaboratively with R and Python using professional tools such as RStudio, Positron, Jupyter and VS Code.

Overview
Posit Workbench gives data science teams a server-based place to work in R and Python, with sessions started from a single web interface in the IDE each person prefers.
Administrators manage authentication, compute resources and environments centrally, so teams work in consistent setups without managing their own machines.
Key capabilities
- Centralized development environments: browser-based sessions managed from one place.
- R and Python workflows: work in either language, or both, within the same environment.
- Multiple IDE support: RStudio, Positron, JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook and VS Code.
- Secure enterprise authentication: integration with enterprise sign-in such as OpenID Connect.
- Scalable computational environments: choose resource profiles and container images per session.
- Collaboration and session management: start, suspend and manage several sessions across projects.
Applications
Enterprise data science development: give teams a shared, governed environment for day-to-day R and Python work.
Statistical analysis and modeling: run analyses on centrally provided compute instead of individual laptops.
Machine learning experimentation: choose larger resource profiles for heavier experiments when needed.
Reproducible research: work in defined images and environments that can be shared across a team.
Collaborative analytics development: keep projects and sessions organized for teams working on the same problems.

Part of the Posit ecosystem
Posit Workbench, Posit Connect and Posit Package Manager have complementary roles in an enterprise data science environment.
- Develop
- Posit Workbench — Where teams write and run R and Python code.
- Publish
- Posit Connect — Where finished work is deployed and shared.
- Govern
- Posit Package Manager — Where the packages both rely on are curated and distributed.
Each product is licensed separately. Posit also offers them together as Posit Team. Available features depend on the product edition and licence.
Developer
Posit develops open-source and enterprise tools for data science in R and Python, including Posit Workbench, Posit Connect and Posit Package Manager.
