This page emerged from a discussion at the PDAC meeting in which the proliferation of Science Platform instances, and of planned audiences for them, was discussed and raised some concerns from the development teams.
Among the issues to be considered for each use case and each LSP instance which may satisfy a use case, or several, are:
- Requirements for stability from a user perspective
- Identity of the intended users (DM / Project / non-Project, etc.)
- Need for persistent user environments (e.g., software installations, personal data)
- Datasets to be held
- Need for Qserv (whether for development or because of the scale of the data to be held)
Use Case perspective
Science Platform integration
Foo
Qserv development and test at scale
Foo
Exposure of large scientifically useful datasets through the Science Platform for user evaluation and feedback
Foo
Interactive environment for LSST DM developers, especially Science Pipelines, successor to ssh-in lsst-dev systems
Foo
Science data quality analysis environment

Pop-up demonstrations of the LSP to users at workshops, training sessions, etc.
