Combining R and Python for the Belgian Justice Department
summary
Belgian justice runs a traffic‑fine monitor that combines R and Python: a Shiny dashboard deployed on Posit Connect shows traffic‑light status fed by a Python ETL and anomaly detectors exposed via a Flask API, with some checks implemented in R and results pinned between steps. The system starts in 2020 as a test platform with access to production data (over €500M annually in fines), proves reliable, and the verdict is to use R and Python together in a modular architecture.
