Harnessing the Power of Cloud-native & OpenSource for the Success of the Materials Project
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are advancing the scope of human knowledge and actively seeking scientific solutions to some of humankind's most significant problems. Harnessing the power of supercomputing and state-of-the-art methods, the Materials Project (MP) provides open web-based access to computed information on known and predicted materials and powerful analysis tools to inspire and design novel materials.
With over 200,000 registered users heavily using MP's online gateway and API, transitioning MP to micro-services in the cloud became a cornerstone in the longevity of MP.
In this session, we will explore:
- How the small core team at MP implements infrastructure-as-code from the ground up to efficiently use its limited cloud computing and human resources.
- How MP deploys and runs a microservices-based network architecture on AWS cloud with Datadog for end-to-end observability.
- The integral role Kong Gateway plays in managing and routing requests and enabling a unified developer experience.
- How cloud architecture allows MP to meet modern requirements for high availability, rapid solutions, increased security, and scalability.
