Serverless use case: Research application
- [Instructor] Let's look at a case study around the concept of genomic data processing pipeline using serverless computing. This relates to how serverless computing is used in research. Let's get started. A leading medical research institute needed to process massive amounts of genomic sequencing data from multiple laboratories worldwide. Their traditional infrastructure struggled with unpredictable workloads and high computational demands, leading to resource inefficiencies and delayed research outcomes. The institute implemented a serverless architecture using AWS Lambda and step functions to create a scalable genomic data processing pipeline. The solution broke down the analysis into discrete functions: data ingestion or Lambda functions that automatically triggered when new genomic data files arrived in S3 buckets or storage systems, validating and pre-processing the data. Sequence analysis, or separate Lambda functions, perform various analysis tasks including sequence…
