Data scientists and developers seeking a solution to manage their data-driven computational pipelines
About Nextflow
Data-driven computational pipelines. Nextflow enables scalable and reproducible scientific workflows using software containers. It allows the adaptation of pipelines written in the most common scripting languages. Its fluent DSL simplifies the implementation and deployment of complex parallel and reactive workflows on clouds and clusters. Nextflow is built around the idea that Linux is the lingua franca of data science. Nextflow allows you to write a computational pipeline by making it simpler to put together many different tasks. You may reuse your existing scripts and tools and you don't need to learn a new language or API to start using it. Nextflow supports Docker and Singularity containers technology. This, along with the integration of the GitHub code-sharing platform, allows you to write self-contained pipelines, manage versions, and rapidly reproduce any former configuration. Nextflow provides an abstraction layer between your pipeline's logic and the execution layer.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime
Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
