On July 12, 2024, the Broad Institute's Data Sciences Platform and Dockstore presented a 4-hour long workshop on creating and running cloud-native pipelines (often called "workflows") in WDL, Dockstore, and Terra. The workshop was part of the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology conference in Montreal. Participants got hands-on practice working with the building blocks of cloud-based pipelines: using Dockers to control their pipelines' virtual environments, writing their pipelines in the Workflow Description Language (WDL), and finding and hosting workflows in Dockstore. 

Session information

The training session was presented by Aseel Awdeh, David Steinberg, Leyla Tarhan, and Denis Yuen on July 12, 2024 from 9AM-1PM EST.

Materials

The slides and additional materials are located in our public repository. This was an in-person workshop, so it was not recorded.
