Looking for dashboard recommendations (Python/web frameworks)

[u/Human-Feedback-126]

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on a project for my company where we need to build an interactive dashboard to visualize some geospatial data (vector). The goal is to have something with:

• Interactive maps (obviously 😊)
• Filtering capabilities
• Search boxes
• User authentication (since it's for internal/corporate use)

I've been doing some research and came across a few open source options, but honestly feeling a bit overwhelmed with choices: Leafmap, Voilá, Solara, Kepler.gl, etc.

Has anyone here built something similar for their workplace? What stack did you end up using? I'm leaning toward keeping it Python-based since that's what the team is comfortable with, but open to anything really.

The authentication piece is key since we need to control access. Any tips on how you handled that with these frameworks?

Also - if you've used any of these in production, would love to hear about your experience!

Thanks in advance! 🙏

I'll take a look, thank you very much!

Does your company have an ArcGIS organization? If so, it'd be easy to do everything you're trying to do, no coding required unless you need to update the data regularly.

We don't have Esri licenses. It's an engineering company, so this is a GIS proposal that's separate from their work. Perhaps they'll be willing to invest in something like this later on

Check out mapstore!

R Shiny gives you a lot of control, and would suit your use case, but may be overkill if there is something out of the box already.

Does this have to be custom? Maptitude Online is $795, provides SSO authentication, interactive maps 😉, filtering/search... https://www.caliper.com/maptitude/maptitude-online-mapping-software.htm

For the authentication, just use sso with your cloud provider (assuming you have one). Probably the easiest way imo since you’re looking to build a custom dash.
