Anaconda Notebooks vs aptly

Anaconda Notebooks puts JupyterLab in a cloud environment for writing, editing, and running Python code through an Anaconda Cloud account. Users can start data science and AI projects in a browser with packages and computing resources supplied by the service, without installing Python locally. Two preconfigured environments are available: one with the latest Anaconda Distribution packages and another with packages selected for AI workflows. Notebooks can be shared by URL so others can open a copy, work with it through an Anaconda account, or download it. Outputs can be deployed as web applications using Panel. Anaconda Assistant for Python can analyze tables and suggest ways to work with data, while Data Connectors let users save CSV files on Anaconda Cloud for Excel or notebook access. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 5 GB cloud storage. Starter costs $15 a month, billed monthly, with 10 GB storage per user. Organizations may block notebook sharing, resulting in a 403 error when a user tries to share.

aptly manages Debian package repositories and publishes controlled package sets for systems that use apt. It can mirror remote repositories, maintain local repositories, pull selected package versions with dependencies, and publish repositories. Immutable snapshots can be compared, merged, filtered, searched and used to create repeatable package environments with controlled changes and rollback to earlier versions. Mirroring supports regular and flat repositories over HTTP(S) and FTP, with filters for architectures, components and packages. Packages from mirrors and local repositories are kept in a deduplicated pool that can be searched and cleaned up. Repositories can be published to local storage, Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, Azure or JFrog Artifactory Storage, and signed with a user-provided GnuPG key. aptly is free and available as a CLI tool and HTTP REST service. Its REST API has no authentication or protection, and the embedded web server is described as unsuitable for production use.
