Overview
Plotly builds data visualization tools and platforms for analysts, engineers, scientists, and coding agents. Its offerings include the open-source Plotly graphing libraries (with support for Python and JavaScript), the open-source Dash Python framework for data apps, Plotly Studio (an AI-native data analytics application available as a desktop app or embedded in Dash apps), Plotly Cloud for publishing and managing Dash and Studio apps, and Dash Enterprise, a self-hosted platform for managing Dash and Studio apps behind a firewall. According to its About page, Plotly began by creating open-source tools like Plotly.js, Plotly.py, and Dash, which have been downloaded over a billion times, and later built Dash Enterprise to help organizations scale these innovations.
History
According to Plotly's About page, Plotly began with the belief that data should be interactive, intuitive, and accessible, and acted on that belief by creating open-source tools like Plotly.js, Plotly.py, and Dash. These tools have been downloaded over a billion times and are used by data scientists, engineers, and analysts in Fortune 500 companies, research labs, and universities worldwide. To help organizations scale these innovations, Plotly built Dash Enterprise, a platform that lets teams run, publish, and share their applications securely in any environment. Plotly later introduced Plotly Studio, described as an agentic analytics platform that turns data into interactive apps in seconds, and Plotly Cloud, which extends the same power and flexibility to sharing data analytics securely across organizations.
