Hi Wit, you guys do a great job to make R ready for deployment in production.

What do you think of the new renv package?

It's goal is different.

We started with reproducible project definition. Then we implemented rsuite to help manage the project. It includes dependency management which is what renv solve. What is the biggest difference is that our project consists of possibly many pkgs that are local to it. This allows you to create complex solutions. Moreover deployment PKG is zip file and to use it you only need r. No PKG installation on prod.
