ADR 02 - How we build webapps

Decision

We use Streamlit to quickly develop dashboard MVPs. New dashboards can be deployed from our Streamlit dashboard platform.
We use Python, with the Flask framework, follwing a backend-for-frontend architecture, serving HTML/JS/CSS for production dashboards e.g. CoPilot AI Credits Dashboard.

Rationale

Streamlit's pre-built React.js wrapper, allows for fast MVP development. However, the wrapper presents limitations in terms of flexibility of frontend development, and potentially creates accessibility issues.
Creating an entirely bespoke dashboard frontend, although potentially incurring a time cost, offers superior flexibility when it comes to production dashboards.
