Cool. Who is paying for the compute? Or is this similar to CI/CD jobs?

The other *very important* aspect is that r2u wins big by giving you binaries right away--instead of wasting *billed* (!!) time on building from source. I still need to write a post on that in the CI/CD context: why run longer/slower jobs that will cost more or may hit a limit?

Yeah binaries are the charm.

I am starting to settle on "fast, easy, reliable" to describe the *magic* that is r2u with full and complete resolution of *all* system dependencies. Plus binaries from r-universe as an extra bonus for non CRAN binaries like rpolars. or tiledbsoma and cellxgene.census here.
