Publish webapp on AWS

How can we expose the endpoint created from the xpl.app_run() so that it can be accessed by a larger population via AWS?

Hi,
It's difficult for us to answer, as we're not familiar with AWS environments.

The endpoint created by xpl.app_run() is a Dash endpoint.
Do you know how to expose a Dash app in AWS?

The Shapash code for initializing the Dash app is as follows: (https://github.com/MAIF/shapash/blob/master/shapash/webapp/smart_app.py)

class SmartApp:
    """
        Bridge pattern decoupling the application part from SmartExplainer and SmartPlotter.
        Attributes
        ----------
        explainer: object
            SmartExplainer instance to point to.
    """

    def __init__(self, explainer, settings: dict = None):
        """
        Init on class instantiation, everything to be able to run the app on server.
        Parameters
        ----------
        explainer : SmartExplainer
            SmartExplainer object
        settings : dict
            A dict describing the default webapp settings values to be used
            Possible settings (dict keys) are 'rows', 'points', 'violin', 'features'
            Values should be positive ints
        """
        # APP
        self.server = Flask(__name__)
        self.app = dash.Dash(
            server=self.server,
            external_stylesheets=[dbc.themes.BOOTSTRAP],
        )
