The design and architecture of Times Square is described in SQR-062: The Times Square service for publishing parameterized Jupyter Notebooks in the Rubin Science platform. Times Square uses Noteburst (GitHub, SQR-065) to execute Jupyter Notebooks in Nublado (JupyterLab) instances, thereby mechanizing the RSP's notebook aspect.
This Times Square API service is developed at https://github.com/lsst-sqre/times-square. Its user interface is part of Squareone. Times Square is deployed with Phalanx.
REST API and developer documentation is at times-square.lsst.io and deployment documentation is available at phalanx.lsst.io.
