JupyterLite is a JupyterLab distribution that runs entirely in the browser, built from JupyterLab components and WebAssembly-powered Python kernels like Pyodide. It can be deployed as a static website, letting users run notebooks with no server or installation.

Use cases

• run jupyter notebooks in the browser without a server
• host a static interactive python playground on github pages
• embed python coding exercises in documentation or a course site
• try pandas and matplotlib without installing python
• build a zero-install data science demo for students
• deploy jupyterlab as a client-side web app

When to choose

• you want notebooks accessible with zero installation or server backend
• you need to embed interactive Python demos in docs, tutorials, or static sites
• your workloads fit in the browser (Pyodide-compatible packages, small data)
• you want offline-capable or CDN-hosted computing environments

When to avoid

• you need heavy packages, GPUs, or large datasets beyond browser memory limits
• you rely on a real Python environment, native extensions, or shell access
• you need multi-user server features, real-time collaboration, or full JupyterHub parity
