bokeh/bokeh Alternatives
interactive data visualization / plotting
Bokeh is an interactive data visualization library for Python that creates browser-based plots, dashboards, and data apps.
Drop-in peers
Same problem, same approach. Swapping one for another is a config change, not a rewrite.
Same job, different approach
Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.
perspective-dev/perspectiveGitHub
Choose for streaming/large real-time datasets with a WebAssembly-based component, rather than Bokeh's Python-server model.
A data visualization and analytics component, especially well-suited for large and/or streaming datasets.

These projects were analysed and named bokeh among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how bokeh rates them is a separate judgement, made when bokeh is analysed in its own right.
perspective-dev/perspectiveGitHub
calls bokeh “when you prefer a Python-native interactive plotting library with a server model over a WASM client component.”
A data visualization and analytics component, especially well-suited for large and/or streaming datasets.
