Hello,

Nextflow based workflows are one of the primary contenders for us on our on-premise Kubernetes cluster. We are looking into other options as well. The common denominator being: on-premise Kubernetes cluster for code deployment in production. Can anyone that has relevant experience with running Nextflow workflows on a Kubernetes cluster comment about their takeaways from a stability perspective? Any pros/cons that you think are noteworthy? Is Kubernetes support in Nextflow still in beta?

Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Thanks!

I have never used Kubernetes but I have been using Nextflow + Singularity extensively for a while now. I have had no issues with its stability, it has been far more stable than the HPC system that we run it on; almost all of our pipeline failures are attributed to underlying system failures outside the scope of Nextflow.
