Benefits
Focus on business critical tasks
Focus on business critical tasks
Leverage fully managed and scalable compute infrastructure to shift focus to job submission and extracting business insights from the job's results.
Define your execution model
Define your execution model
Run high throughput or tightly coupled computations defined by a script or container.
Enhanced developer experience
Enhanced developer experience
Batch simplifies workload development and execution. Batch jobs can be submitted within a few steps. Leverage Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Cloud Logging, and Workflows for an end-to-end developer experience.
Key features
Key features
Dynamic resource provisioning and autoscaling
Run any scale batch jobs on cloud compute resources to limit job wait times while executing requests in parallel and scaling resources without manual intervention.
Support for scripts and containerized workloads
Batch provides a consistent experience for Docker containerized workloads or script based workloads that run directly on VMs.
Leverage native services and batch tools
Easily adopt first-party services to control the end-to-end batch workflow from preprocessing to postprocessing.
At Roivant Discovery, we leverage massive computational simulations to drive the discovery of novel drugs across small molecule modalities. Our scientists are required to operate at the cutting edge of quantum physics with speed and agility, at scale. Google Batch's unprecedented simplicity and flexibility will ensure we're always focused on innovation.
