A scheduling and orchestration platform for data science models

We gave Axpo's data scientists an enterprise-grade platform for scheduling and orchestrating models, built on Kubernetes and Argo Workflows.

The client

Axpo is Switzerland’s largest producer of renewable energy and an international energy trader.

The challenge

The data science team’s early models showed real promise, but there was almost no infrastructure behind them. Work happened in silos, on local machines and uncoordinated cloud resources, and the team couldn’t import, process and model data at scale.

What we did

  • Started from our existing reference architectures and infrastructure modules to move quickly.
  • Delivered an open-source platform based on Kubernetes and the cloud-native Argo Workflows framework.
  • Gave data scientists highly customisable workflows for scheduling and orchestrating their models.

The result

A scalable, enterprise-grade platform for model scheduling and orchestration, delivered quickly by reusing proven building blocks rather than starting from scratch.

What the client said

  • “We went from models running on laptops to a scheduling platform the whole team uses, without having to become Kubernetes experts ourselves.”
