Abstract:
Nowadays, analyzing large volumes of data locally has become impractical due to the computational and storage limits of personal computers. In response, the concept of cloud computing and the serverless paradigm appears. Lithops framework emerges to facilitate the development of cloud applications, based on the serverless FaaS (Function as a Service) model. In this project we present the migration to the cloud of a local pipeline for genomics data analysis based on the use of Lithops from the development and implementation of a distributed architecture based on the MapReduce model for the parallelization of the final phase of the pipeline.
