Scalable Genomic

Distributed Processing Infrastructure

Client:

An immuno-sequencing and genomics startup from a top academic institution, working towards advancing cutting-edge research and driving innovation in their field.

Challenge:

The client needed to process, analyze, and visualize terabytes of immuno-sequence data with speed, flexibility, and accuracy, while also enabling interactive data exploration to derive meaningful research insights. This challenge was directly linked to the organization’s strategic goals of accelerating research and generating valuable intellectual property.

Solution:

In collaboration with the top academic institution, our team developed a highly efficient, scalable distributed computing framework that aligned with the organization’s objectives. We used open-source technologies like Apache Spark (PySpark) to create a user-friendly system capable of handling the processing, analytics, and visualization of large immuno-sequence datasets, while ensuring data security and compliance.

To facilitate seamless, interactive data exploration, we developed a Python Dash App visualization and user control dashboard, deployed using Heroku. The solution was designed to be highly versatile and easily integrable with various cloud services, enabling the client to adapt to their changing needs.

Impact:

Our solution had a transformative impact on the client’s ability to process, analyze, and visualize large immuno-sequence datasets. The distributed computing framework and visualization tool we developed provided:

  1. Over 1000x reduction in processing speed, resulting in faster and more accurate data analysis, which accelerated research progress and insight generation.
  2. Significant time and cost savings due to the utilization of open-source tools and compatibility with existing on-premises servers.
  3. High scalability, automation, and portability to accommodate changing needs and integration with different cloud services.
  4. Strengthened collaboration with the top academic institution, reinforcing the company’s reputation and credibility in their field.
  5. Potential for generating valuable intellectual property, supporting the organization’s long-term growth and success.
 

Overall, our solution supported the client’s strategic objectives, accelerated their research data exploration, and enhanced their platform, positioning the company for continued growth and innovation.

 

Big-data processing optimization

via Big Query

Client:

A thriving advertising platform startup, focused on enhancing customer experience and driving rapid business expansion by onboarding ten times more clients within the next year.

Challenge:

The client’s existing infrastructure faced slow processing speeds, high costs, fragility, and maintenance issues, which hindered their ambitious growth plans and ability to provide an optimal user experience. Overcoming these challenges was crucial to achieving their strategic objectives and unlocking new opportunities in the advertising industry.

Solution:

Our team collaborated closely with the client to develop a streamlined solution that addressed their infrastructure pain points while aligning with their broader business goals. We simplified the technical aspects by migrating and optimizing their existing mySQL queries into GCP BigQuery queries, which were then wrapped in user-friendly Python scripts. The solution was containerized using Docker and scheduled with Airflow for efficient processing and orchestration, ensuring scalability and growth potential.

Impact:

The new approach resulted in a robust, portable, and accessible service that empowered the client to process and orchestrate data more effectively, in line with their strategic goals. Key improvements included:

  1. A 100x reduction in processing speed, leveraging BigQuery’s distributed computing power to handle large volumes of data efficiently and improve customer experience.
  2. A 10x reduction in costs, providing a strong return on investment and freeing up resources for further investment in the company’s expansion.
  3. Enhanced deployment and maintenance capabilities, thanks to the containerization and orchestration system, contributing to a more reliable infrastructure with reduced risk of failure.
  4. Improved data security and compliance, ensuring the protection of sensitive information and adherence to relevant regulations.
  5. The ability to generate valuable data-driven insights that can inform decision-making and drive business growth.
  6. Scalability and growth potential, enabling the client to pursue their expansion goals and better serve their growing client base.
 

Overall, our solution supported the client’s strategic objectives, addressed their infrastructure challenges, and unlocked new opportunities for innovation. The updated infrastructure paves the way for future advancements, ensuring the client remains competitive in the rapidly evolving advertising industry.
