Open source · supported by the Bioconductor community

On-demand workshop environments
for bioinformatics & data science.

Orchestra spins up isolated, time-limited RStudio and JupyterLab sessions on Kubernetes — so your learners click a link and start working in the browser, with nothing to install.

No installs, no setup — the environment is one click away.

Isolated per learner

Every participant gets their own sandboxed session — no shared state, no "works on my machine".

RStudio, JupyterLab, anything

Launch any container image. Stock upstream images work as-is via per-template env and args.

Time-limited & self-cleaning

Sessions expire and tear themselves down automatically. No lingering pods, no surprise bills.

Built with Bioconductor, open to all

Created for the Bioconductor community and proven on BioC courses — but it runs any image for any field: Python, R, ML, GIS, and beyond.
