Hi Anusha, I've been working on a project that hasn't merged with ctakes yet, but has a github page: https://github.com/tmills/ctakes-docker
it is a work in progress and so documentation is not great, but I've used it to do exactly what you're asking about -- setup a ctakes cluster on AWS to process millions of notes. See the README for a general introduction and then take a look at the script bin/launch_cluster.sh Tim -----Original Message----- From: Anusha Balasubramaniam <anus...@foreseemed.com<mailto:anusha%20balasubramaniam%20%3canus...@foreseemed.com%3e>> Reply-to: <dev@ctakes.apache.org> To: dev@ctakes.apache.org<mailto:dev@ctakes.apache.org> Subject: Looking for cTakes deployment strategies [EXTERNAL] Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 10:40:55 -0800 Hello everyone, I am looking for a strategy to use cTakes to asynchronously process thousands of clinical notes by listening to a queue on AWS and maintaining a hot process with all the dictionaries loaded in memory. So far I've had some success using the REST server wrapper I found here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_dirkweissenborn_ctakes-2Dserver&d=DwIBaQ&c=qS4goWBT7poplM69zy_3xhKwEW14JZMSdioCoppxeFU&r=Heup-IbsIg9Q1TPOylpP9FE4GTK-OqdTDRRNQXipowRLRjx0ibQrHEo8uYx6674h&m=YqHlEhy_rtyv1ECpkh6Nju79T2jpGNkfIfaDhI6C4nw&s=49CVRWzKU6zTCFHD70RiQCbBdtOLb9uZHsNa3HY7hg4&e=, but it's still a synchronous call, which I found hard to scale. Are there any other wrappers out there that could be used to enable cTakes to listen to a port for input? Can anyone share some strategies they used to implement cTakes on AWS to achieve similar requirements? Thanks and Regards, Anusha
