Description

DiracX is the next incarnation of DIRAC. This is a modern, cloud‑native platform for managing distributed computing across multiple research infrastructures for one or more virtual organizations. Leveraging two decades of DIRAC experience, DiracX delivers a faster, more capable, and user‑friendly environment for scientists, administrators, and developers alike.

In this contribution we build on our previous CHEP contribution (CHEP 2024), which outlined the motivations behind DiracX, its core technical capabilities, and the architectural choices that underpin it. Eighteen months later, DiracX has matured into a production‑grade service. We describe the practical experience of operating DiracX in parallel with the legacy DIRAC stack, share early adopter impressions, and highlight the novel technical innovations that distinguish DiracX from its predecessor.
