FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy bioinformatics pipelines on Latch for serverless execution?

You can deploy bioinformatics pipelines for serverless execution by integrating Latch into your workflow using the Latch SDK. This involves building your pipeline with @workflow/@task decorators and registering it to enable automatic UI generation and cloud deployment.

Can I use Latch to deploy Nextflow or Snakemake workflows in the cloud?

Yes, Latch supports the integration of Nextflow and Snakemake workflows in addition to native Python pipelines. You can build, register, and run these existing pipelines across both HPC and cloud environments using the Latch SDK.

How do I handle data files when building reproducible workflows with Latch?

When building reproducible workflows with Latch, you handle data files using LatchFile and LatchDir objects. This allows for seamless data handling and cross-workspace data sharing across your bioinformatics pipeline execution environments.

What is the best way to create scalable bioinformatics workflows without managing servers?

The best way to create scalable serverless bioinformatics workflows is using the Latch SDK to build, register, and run pipelines. It provides a unified platform that streamlines creation and generates a UI for parameterization.

Do I need a specific project structure to integrate Latch into my Python pipeline?

Yes, integrating Latch requires a SKILL.md frontmatter with a mandatory name and description. You may also include optional directories such as scripts, references, and assets whose contents are loaded by the Latch SDK as needed.
