An introduction to running parallel tasks with Celery, plus how and why we built an API on top of Celery’s Canvas task primitives.
One of the technology goals of Zymergen is to empower biologists to explore genetic edits of microbes in a high throughput and highly automated manner. The Computational Biology team at Zymergen is responsible for building software to help scientists design and execute these genetic edits. (For a brief overview, see our Zymergen 101 tutorial).
