2164 - Simplifying Computational Chemistry: Bayer’s Serverless Innovation with IBM Cloud Code Engine 

Wed October 08, 2025 12:00 AM

Traditionally, retrosynthesis calculations — breaking down complex molecules into simpler precursors — would take years on a single server. However, Bayer utilized IBM Cloud Code Engine’s serverless computing capabilities to achieve rapid scalability by running numerous parallel instances. This approach significantly streamlined drug discovery processes. IBM Cloud Code Engine enabled Bayer to transition from initial discussions to full production in just 57 days. Its simplicity eliminated the need for infrastructure management while offering cost optimization by charging only for computations performed. The serverless architecture not only enhanced operational efficiency but also demonstrated the transformative potential of IT solutions in computational chemistry.
