The system combines Amazon S3, Lambda, Athena and DynamoDB, using metadata indexes and HTTP byte range requests to query compressed genomic regions. Tests reported 1.52 second average latency for 10,000 base pair queries.</p> <i>By Leela Kumili</i> Serverless Cost Optimization S3 AWS Lambda Scalability Applied Research AWS Cloud Architecture Science Distributed Systems Architecture Distributed Query Architecture & Design Development news Fri, 23 Oct 2026 14:30:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/10/csiro-serverless-genomic-variant/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Science Leela Kumili 2026-10-23T14:30:00Z /news/2026/10/csiro-serverless-genomic-variant/en
