How regularly upgrading core infrastructure leads to upstream improvements and better infrastructure | 2i2c

Our collaborators at NASA VEDA recently asked us about the rationale behind policies for upgrading our infrastructure relatively quickly when new versions come out. Here’s the explanation that we…

This is a nice little vignette that shows the value of having a devops team continuously developing and upgrading your deployment - updating more often when it's not *required* means doing less work when you *have* to upgrade.

Love this vision of "Backseat software". We need more software that's useful on its own right, and doesn't constantly try to inject itself into your life. blog.mikeswanson.com/backseat-sof...

I'm really excited to see 2i2c leaning more into open product development practices by building a public roadmap. This is a way for us to find more common ground between the needs of our member communities, and opportunities to support open source.

This was an interesting experiment in using JupyterHub to deploy a *data science design* environment, for a user workshop, rather than a typical "notebook analytics" environment. You can serve all kinds of interfaces and side-applications with JupyterHub!

I find this kind of thing really exciting - 2i2c is basically a centralized shared infrastructure team, running independent community hubs, in a way where we can directly give others control over their own infrastructure in a safe way.

2025 had a lot of learning for us - in part, we learned that it is really hard to balance both a shared infrastructure platform *and* a collaborative development service! Here are a few thoughts about the tension between these, and our plan to leaning into that tension in 2026.

2i2c@2i2c.org · 7mo ago

We recently pushed Jupyter Book 2, which was a breaking change for many of our users! We considered publishing a completely different package (e.g., `jupyter-book2`) but decided against it. Here's a quick rationale why:

This is a pattern I'm excited to lean into - many communities get opportunities to use cloud resources ad-hoc. We'd like our membership to be an easy way to quickly get resources when you need them, when credits / access / etc is available by government/state resources.
