Instead of Apache Zeppelin
Apache Zeppelin alternatives
Apache Zeppelin brings several data-work steps into a web notebook: you can ingest, explore, analyze, and visualize data using languages such as SQL, Scala, Python, and R. Its interpreters connect to Spark, Flink, JDBC sources, and more; built-in charts and real-time notebook updates support collaborative work. It is free, open source, and available for self-hosted use on Linux and macOS as well as the web. Spark users also get automatic context injection and job progress and cancellation features.

A different notebook may suit you better if you need a narrower language focus, a distinct execution model, GPU-backed notebooks, or tools for publishing analyses as apps. Zeppelin’s Spark-focused net-install package includes only the Spark interpreter by default, and installing others requires its net-install script. Anonymous access is enabled by default, so its documentation recommends configuring authentication or using it only in a secured, trusted environment. When comparing options, weigh the languages and data sources you need, how collaborators share work, deployment choices, reproducibility, and whether any paid plan fits your budget.
