About Beaker Notebook
BeakerX is a collection of kernels and extensions to the Jupyter interactive computing environment. It provides JVM support, Spark cluster support, polyglot programming, interactive plots, tables, forms, publishing, and more. All of BeakerX’s JVM languages plus Python and JavaScript have APIs for interactive time-series, scatter plots, histograms, heatmaps, and treemaps. The widgets remain interactive in both notebooks saved to disk, and notebooks published to the web. They include unique features for handling many points, nanosecond resolution, zooming, and exporting. BeakerX’s table widget automatically recognizes pandas data frames and allows you to search, sort, drag, filter, format, select, graph, hide, pin, and export to CSV or clipboard. This makes connecting to spreadsheets quickly and easy. BeakerX has a Spark magic with GUIs for configuration, status, progress, and interrupt of Spark jobs. You can either use the GUI or create your own SparkSession with code.

Bokeh
Bokeh makes it simple to create common plots, but also can handle custom or specialized use-cases. Plots, dashboards, and apps can be published in web pages or Jupyter notebooks. Python has an incredible ecosystem of powerful analytics tools: NumPy, Scipy, Pandas, Dask, Scikit-Learn, OpenCV, and more. With a wide array of widgets, plot tools, and UI events that can trigger real Python callbacks, the Bokeh server is the bridge that lets you connect these tools to rich, interactive visualizations in the browser. Microscopium is a project maintained by researchers at Monash University. It allows researchers to discover new gene or drug functions by exploring large image datasets with Bokeh’s interactive tools. Panel is a tool for polished data presentation that utilizes the Bokeh server. It is created and supported by Anaconda. Panel makes it simple to create custom interactive web apps and dashboards by connecting user-defined widgets to plots, images, tables, or text.
