Helix Genomics accelerated pipeline runs 6x

Helix Genomics achieved 6x faster genomic pipeline runs and cut cloud compute spend 38% after BITRIDGE re-architected their data platform onto autoscaling infrastructure.

6x
faster pipeline runs

Challenge

Batch genomic pipelines took days to complete on fixed infrastructure, blocking research cycles and inflating cloud bills.

Solution

We migrated workloads to Kubernetes with spot-aware scheduling, partitioned storage tiers, and observability across every pipeline stage.

Outcome

Pipeline runs completed 6x faster, compute costs dropped 38%, and researchers gained same-day turnaround on standard analyses.
