Carlo Fisicaro and Fabio Airoldi present Peptone's ultra-scalable architecture at KubeCon 2025
Peptone presented its Kubernetes and AWS architecture for protein structure prediction to more than 8,000 attendees at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025
KubeCon, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s flagship conference, brings together adopters and technologists from open-source and cloud-native communities. The event focuses on Kubernetes and related technologies, giving teams a venue to share new developments and real-world applications.
Scientific computing at cloud scale
At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 in London, Peptone CTO Carlo Fisicaro and Fabio Airoldi presented to an audience of more than 8,000 attendees. Their talk examined Peptone’s ultra-scalable computing and data-processing architecture, powered by Kubernetes and Amazon Web Services.
The architecture is designed for the demanding workloads involved in protein structure prediction. It combines model parallelism and data parallelism to sample conformational spaces efficiently, while Kubernetes orchestrates workloads across GPU nodes.
The presentation showed how cloud-native technologies can support computationally intensive biotechnology research, connecting scalable infrastructure directly to the scientific challenge of understanding protein structure and dynamics.
