 SCAR also supports a High Throughput Computing :doc:`/prog_model` to create highly-parallel event-driven file-processing serverless applications that execute on customized runtime environments provided by Docker containers run on AWS Lambda. The development of SCAR has been published in the `Future Generation Computer Systems <https://www.journals.elsevier.com/future-generation-computer-systems>`_ scientific journal.
 
+SCAR is integrated with API Gateway in order to expose an application via a highly-available HTTP-based REST API that supports both synchronous and asynchronous invocations. It is also integrated with AWS Batch. This way, AWS Lambda can be used to acommodate the execution of large bursts of short requests while long-running executions are delegated to AWS Batch.
