Is it possible to implement test sharding in aws device farm?

Question

I have a test automation suite that uses cucumber-appium-ruby which I run on AWS device farm. In order to improve performance (and avoid the 150 minutes limit of use per device), I would like to be able to run my tests in parallel (meaning different tests of the suite running on different devices)

I have been looking for a solution to this or if it's even possible, and the only actual solution I have found is to run different sections of my suite per run. This is not ideal since is not a real test sharding, and I would like to know if it's even possible to implement or if someone has done it.

According to the AWS Device Farm Developer Guide and confirming with Device Farm team (I work at AWS), there is no sharding feature within Device Farm as of June 2023.

You will have to implement a custom orchestrator to poll for available devices of a certain type then shard out tests within a suite across those devices.

This will run the same tests in multiple devices. OP is asking about sharding (Splitting the test suite and running all the tests in parallel) – André Roggeri Campos Jun 09 '23 at 16:01
OK, I understand now. Confirmed with AWS Device Farm team and updated answer. Thanks! – ford-at-aws Jun 09 '23 at 19:50
