Building web applications for the exploration of scientific data presents several challenges. These include the difficulty of accessing large volumes of data, the need for high-performance computing (HPC) resources to process and analyze such data, and the complexity of developing intuitive web frontends—especially for scientists who are not trained web developers. The Data Analysis Software Framework (DASF) addresses these challenges by enabling scientists to focus on Python-based backend development while seamlessly integrating HPC resources, even when these are not directly exposed to the internet. DASF also provides an automated mechanism to generate web frontends, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for scientific web application development (DOI:10.5194/egusphere-egu25-3120).
Complementing this, the ESRI Experience Builder empowers users to create multi-page web applications and dashboards through a content management system, without requiring expertise in JavaScript-based frontend frameworks. This makes it an ideal platform for scientists to build rich, interactive data exploration tools. The newly developed DASF plugin for the Experience Builder (available at https://codebase.helmholtz.cloud/dasf/dasf-experiencebuilder-plugin) bridges these two ecosystems. It enables seamless access to data and computational resources from within Experience Builder applications, facilitating the creation of powerful, user-friendly scientific web portals.
