If Beam Runner Authoring Guide is rather high-level for you, then, at fist, I’d suggest to answer two questions for yourself: - Am I going to implement a portable runner or native one? - Which SDK I should use for this runner?
Then, depending on answers, I’d suggest to take as an example one of the most similar Beam runners and use it as a more detailed source of information along with Beam runner doc mentioned before. — Alexey > On 22 Jun 2023, at 14:39, Joey Tran <joey.t...@schrodinger.com> wrote: > > Hi Beam community! > > I'm interested in trying to implement a runner with my company's execution > environment but I'm struggling to get started.
