The app runner is an experimental tool that standardizes the integration of one-off apps into B-Fabric.
The API is subject to drastic changes in the next time.
The main idea is that an app provides a specification of the following steps:
- dispatch -> create
inputs.ymlfiles and 1chunks.ymlfile - process -> process a particular chunk (after inputs have been prepared)
- collect -> collect the results of a chunk and create
outputs.ymlfiles
The individual app can be in a container environment or a script running in the same environment as the app runner.
To make this possible input and output staging is abstracted and communicated through inputs.yml and outputs.yml
specification files.
A command is available to stage the inputs or register the outputs respectively then.
Quick Start
See the examples/ directory for templates and detailed instructions on creating new applications. Start with development mode for testing, then build for production after updating the version in pyproject.toml.
