About the client
The client is a global life sciences tools provider with a large catalog of custom assay designs and downstream delivery workflows. The organization required a self service experience for scientists and operations teams with clear governance and audit trails.
Business challenge
- Scale design requests with strict specificity and sensitivity checks while controlling cost and turnaround time.
- Unify public genomic resources and internal knowledge bases into one reference layer that supports fast lookups and reproducible results.
- Provide role based access, versioning, and end to end audit.
What we built
- Web application for submitting design requests, reviewing validations, checking status, and receiving delivery artifacts.
- Service layer for long running jobs with queueing, retries, and cost aware execution.
- Pipeline orchestration with clear stages, monitoring, and alerting.
- Reference data preparation that normalizes public variant and methylation sources into one queryable store.
- Observability with logs, metrics, traces, and cost dashboards.
Results
- Shorter turnaround from request to delivery through self service and automation.
- Lower support effort for operations with clear status and observability.
- Better governance with audit trails and role based access.
Technology snapshot
- Frontend single page app with accessible components and keyboard navigation.
- Services layer with job queue and idempotent workers.
- SQL database for metadata and manifests plus object storage for large artifacts.
- CI and CD with staged environments and automated tests.
- Dashboards for logs, metrics, traces, and cost tracking.
