Web apps on a R server

I want to deploy some R web apps with a clean separate of concerns: R
code // applications.

My choice for the R part is to use one of these two tools:
- deployR[1]
- OpenCPU[2]

and JavaScript for web apps.

OS is Fedora 22 and web server Nginx.

I have been reading documentation about these two R application
integration tools, and find hard to choose one method. So I am
interested in hearing testimonies from anyone with experience and
pro/cons.


Thank you for advice.

Just for completeness - there is also Rserve (disclaimer: I'm the author). It's a bit more flexible (native RPC both ways, no need for any JSON encoding) and if you want a GUI, viz tools, Shiny compatibility etc, you can use RCloud ...

Cheers,
