While cloud platforms offer many benefits, they may not offer suitable extensibility for computational researchers who want to share newly developed tools. Some platforms, like Materials Atlas 5 , allow developers to upload new tools; however, developers may be reticent to launch a tool with these platforms for a number of reasons. Vendor lock-in can arise when relying on third parties to host tools, direct access to live code may be limited, use of certain code libraries or programming languages may be restricted, there may be limited control over end of life provisioning, and a culture of collaboration may not have been established between teams. An alternative solution is to host applications in house. Using modern frameworks, this can be done easily and securely using while minimally increasing maintenance duties for the research team.
