Plotly Cloud Portal - new idea - Critical

Persistence of data.

I think this would be a very important capability to add to Plotly Cloud.

Without it, apps are going to be very similar to standard BI dashboards, even if more powerful and flexible. But they would be stuck in the interactive dashboard paradigm.

Yes, we can currently connect to remote databases and platforms to achieve any persistence needs we have, but this makes apps unnecessarily more complex than they could/should.

This could be part of the offering (variable amounts of storage for different prices)

Storage use-cases:

- logging of behavior

- making more flexible apps that need to save a file, process it, and then display results

- enabling users to export data that is dynamically generated

- LLM apps that rely heavily on various sources of data, where knowing that you have simple storage is crucial

Thanks!
