Tasks and Dash App

So - I have a multitude of individual Python scripts that are scheduled daily under the Tasks.

I am considering adding a Plotly Dash App that would be running consistently. Do the Tasks and Plotly Dash App conflict - in other words - would I have issues trying to do this?

If there are issues, what would they be and what would the best practice be to resolve it?

Thank you so much! Brian

What kind of conflict do you have in mind? The only thing that comes to my mind now is that both tasks and web app would use the same database or interact with the same data changing it, is that what you were thinking about?

Thank you! I think this brings me clarity. Both the Dash App and Task could read csv files but not interact with the data (just reading).....I might get a more robust database at some point - but this is perfect for right now. Out of curiousity if they did interact with the same database - is there a best practice for how to handle that?

Thank you so much for all your help!!

Databases like MySQL or Postgres should handle it just fine.
