cyberCommons Framework!

The cyberCommons Framework is a loosely coupled service-orientated reference architecture for distributed computing workflows. The framework is composed of a series of Docker contained services combined by a Python RESTful API. These containers in the reference architecture use MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Django RESTful and Celery to build a loosely coupled and horizontally scalable software stack. This reference stack can be used to manage data, catalog metadata, and register computational worker nodes with defined tasks. Computations can scale across a series of worker nodes on bare-metal or virtualized environments. The framework provides a flexible, accessible interface for distributed processing and data management from multiple environments including command-line, programming languages, and web and mobile applications.
