# Dash

## When to Use This Skill

### USE Dash when:

- **Production dashboards** - Building dashboards for business users
- **Complex interactivity** - Need fine-grained control over updates
- **Enterprise requirements** - Authentication, scaling, reliability needed
- **Plotly ecosystem** - Already using Plotly for visualizations
- **Custom components** - Need to extend with JavaScript/React
- **Long-term projects** - Dashboard will be maintained and extended
- **Multi-user access** - Multiple concurrent users accessing dashboards
### DON'T USE Dash when:

- **Quick prototypes** - Use Streamlit for faster iteration
- **Simple visualizations** - Static reports may suffice
- **No interactivity needed** - Use static HTML/PDF reports
- **Limited Python knowledge** - Steeper learning curve than Streamlit
- **Single-user tools** - Jupyter notebooks may be simpler
