BeakerX's current implementation works with metaprogramming and serializing the objects to JSON, so it's not recommended for more than a few MB of data.  Using [Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/) and shared memory to remove that limitation is on the [agenda](https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx/issues/7577).\n",
