I previously used Luigi with their AWS batch plugin (and modified that plugin extensively to expand it's capability) for my work. I'm at a new company now starting from scratch and Luigi is a mostly dead project so I'm looking to switch to Flyte and trying to figure out what makes sense architecture wise. The jobs will be similar to what I ran with Lugi/AWS batch previously. I will be running computational biology/bioinformatics workflows. They have widely varying time and resource requirements. As an example a worflow might have 1 step that requires 20 large compute nodes running 1 job per node for 24 hours. Another step might want to run 1000 using 1cpu/4gb memory and run each one for 10 minutes. But then when a pipeline isn't running I need 0 compute. Does flyte make sense for this use case and if so does it make sense to farm the jobs out to flyte kubernets or to flyte AWS batch jobs? I'm fairly sure it could be done either way, I'm just not sure if there are any advantages/disadvantages to doing it a given way. # Answer Flyte is well-suited for your use case in computational biology, especially given its support for resource-intensive tasks and custom dependencies. Flyte can handle workflows with varying time and resource requirements efficiently. You can leverage Flyte's ability to scale and manage resources dynamically, which is crucial for your need to scale down to zero compute when no jobs are running. For your specific scenario, you have two main options: using Flyte with Kubernetes or Flyte with AWS Batch. Both have their advantages: 1. Flyte with Kubernetes: - Auto-scaling: Flyte can leverage Kubernetes' auto-scaling capabilities to scale up and down based on the workload. This is beneficial for managing costs and ensuring resources are only used when needed (source). - Flexibility: Kubernetes provides a flexible environment where you can run various types of workloads, including those requiring custom dependencies and large compute nodes (source). - Integration: Flyte integrates well with Kubernetes, allowing you to manage complex workflows and resource allocation efficiently (source). 2. Flyte with AWS Batch: - Resource Management: AWS Batch is designed to handle batch computing jobs efficiently, making it a good fit for running large-scale bioinformatics workflows that require significant compute resources (source).
