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> Scalability AWS Lambda Serverless Cost Optimization S3 Applied Research Distributed Systems Architecture AWS Distributed Query Science Cloud Architecture 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=Applied+Research-news Leela Kumili 2026-10-23T14:30:00Z /news/2026/10/csiro-serverless-genomic-variant/en
