I'm working with an rmarkdown site generator comprised of 30 *.Rmd and facing a number of issues.

  • Rendering the entire site takes a long time (~20-30 min) even with cache=TRUE in most chunks
  • Some of the R generated figures are mismatched especially when plotly graphs are used (naming my chunks seems to help)
  • Managing package requirements is becoming tedious (every *.Rmd has its own package requirements)
  • Some *.Rmd require being connected to a VPN to query a database
  • One *.Rmd requires running on a different machine because of SSL issue with the OS

Are there any common wisdom or suggestions on how to improve this workflow? Any robust rmarkdown generated site on GitHub I can emulate?

    benchmark which part takes so long... optimize (maybe cache) that part... rinse repeat.. – mb21 Nov 11 '20 at 15:12
