  Gaia is a major European Space Agency (ESA) astrophysics mission designed to
map and analyse 10$^9$ stars, ultimately generating more than 1 PetaByte of
data products. As Gaia data becomes publicly available and reaches a wider
audience, there is an increasing need to facilitate the further use of Gaia
products without needing to download large datasets. The Gaia Added Value
Interface Platform (GAVIP) is designed to address this challenge by providing
an innovative platform within which scientists can submit and deploy code,
packaged as "Added Value Interfaces" (AVIs), which will be executed close to
the data. Deployed AVIs and associated outputs may also be made available to
other GAVIP platform users, thus providing a mechanism for scientific
experiment reproducibility. This paper describes the capabilities and features
of GAVIP.
