How to run Jupyter in multiplayer mode

By Nick Barth

Updated on November 6, 2024

Data scientists and analysts have long faced challenges when trying to collaborate on Jupyter notebooks in real-time. While Jupyter notebooks are powerful tools for data analysis and visualization, their traditional single-user design has limited team productivity—until now.

Real-time collaboration: The future of data notebooks

Deepnote transforms this experience by bringing true real-time collaboration to Jupyter notebooks, similar to how teams collaborate in Google Docs. This cloud-based platform eliminates the complex setup traditionally required for multiplayer functionality, allowing teams to start collaborating instantly.

When you create a project in Deepnote, team members can join through a simple email invitation or secure link. As soon as they enter the workspace, they'll see live changes as teammates edit code, write markdown, or execute cells. This real-time synchronization ensures everyone stays aligned on analysis and insights as they develop.

Advanced team collaboration features

The collaborative experience goes beyond just simultaneous editing. Teams can engage in dynamic discussions through inline comments, track changes with built-in version control, and maintain a clear history of who contributed what. This integrated approach to collaboration helps maintain context and continuity across complex data science projects.

What sets this multiplayer experience apart is how seamlessly it preserves the familiar Jupyter environment while adding enterprise-grade collaboration features. Whether you're conducting exploratory data analysis, building machine learning models, or creating data visualizations, your team can now work together in real-time without sacrificing the power and flexibility of Jupyter notebooks.

By removing the traditional barriers to collaboration in data science workflows, teams can focus on what matters most: deriving insights from their data and building impactful solutions together.
