The Renku blog

Your data might live on Zenodo, your code on GitHub, and your compute in the cloud — but they shouldn't feel worlds apart. Renku is built to bridge these gaps, and our latest 2.16.0 and 2.17.0 updates make it much easier to work, share, and publish without the configuration headache.

Whether you are running data-intensive computations or preparing a project for public citation, these enhancements keep your project resources tightly connected.

Our mission is to make collaborative data science seamless, regardless of where your data lives or how you choose to compute. Our latest release, 2.15.0, brings us a step closer to that goal with some highly requested data integrations and powerful tools for project admins.

As one of the projects within the first SDSC national call, ETHZ SwissCAT+ teamed up with the SDSC to utilize their Renku platform to unite data, code and compute in their OpenCatData project. In this blog post we describe how ETHZ SwissCAT+ fully utilizes the features that Renku offers to augment how data can be effectively shared across different parties.

New in Renku for the New Year: We have added new integrations with research data repositories for frictionless data reuse, made it possible to build images for arm architectures, and improved collaboration flows!

New in Renku this month: We've combined Renku's super-simple sessions with the power of supercomputing!

From technical local setup to one-click data exploration: How Renku simplifies researcher access to computational materials science data on the Materials Cloud Archive.

We're excited to share what's new in Renku this month, including a feature many of you have been asking for, plus some important reminders about the end of Renku Legacy coming up in only 2 months!

On August 21, our team executed a major maintenance on our production cluster running at renkulab.io - the entire platform was moved from the servers in Switch Engines to its new home in the Microsoft Azure Switzerland-North datacenter. This was a major operation that took many weeks to plan and in the end resulted in just a few hours of downtime - a huge congrats to our operations team on making everything work so smoothly!

We've been hard at work making Renku Groups more powerful and continuing the smooth transition from Renku Legacy. This release adds much-needed search functionality to groups and includes helpful updates for users migrating from Renku Legacy.

We're thrilled to announce that Renku 2.0 is now officially launched! We've rebuilt our platform from the ground up with a fresh approach to collaborative research computing, and we're excited to share what we've created.
