our services
Interested in deploying and using open source products like alchemiscale, but struggling to get started?
Open source software is free for anyone to use or extend, enabling broad application to challenging problems. There are some risks to using it in mission critical production settings, however:
- Who do you reach out to when things break?
- If the software doesn’t do exactly what you need, how do you get it there? Are you on your own?
- What guarantees do you have that the open source project won’t be abandoned in a year, and you have to start over again?
- What if you have unique infrastructure that the solutions you want to deploy don’t fit immediately into?
- …
datryllic offers its consulting services as a way to address these risks. If any of these questions feel strikingly familiar to you, reach out to us! We’re likely well-positioned to directly help you.

alchemiscale : deployment, support, management
alchemiscale is an open source, distributed execution system for OpenFE-based alchemical free energy calculations (FECs). Adaptable for a variety of infrastractures, including HPC, Kubernetes, cloud, and bare metal hosts, alchemiscale allows you to scale your FECs efficiently, with no licensing costs restricting your ability to burst compute when needed to meet tight deadlines.
We are the originators of alchemiscale‘s design, and we lead ongoing development as a collaborative effort within OpenFE. As a a plug-and-play service, we offer paid support for deploying alchemiscale in your production environments, and our direct assistance with optimizing your usage of the system to reduce the time-to-delivery and compute costs of your FECs. We also make ourselves available to help you through any issues you encounter with usage, including live working sessions to help you meet your goals quickly.
There are 3 service tiers available for you to choose from, with higher tiers offering increased direct involvement from us and less burden directly on you.
