Why Foundry Connect?

Foundry Connect’s innovative design streamlines your workflow with powerful tools that simplify the creation, execution, and refinement of pipelines. Discover how Foundry Connect enhances complex workflows to boost efficiency and collaboration.

Build with Ease

Foundry Connect features an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that empowers you to create pipelines effortlessly—no coding required. You can reuse existing processes or modules to assemble new pipelines, which can be exported as Nextflow files or run directly within the platform. This flexibility makes pipeline construction simple and versatile.

Run Anywhere

Execute pipelines seamlessly in your chosen host environment, including SGE, LSF, SLURM, Ignite, and others. Foundry Connect integrates with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud, facilitating the creation of cloud clusters, execution of pipelines, and transfer of results to storage solutions like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage. Enjoy the freedom to work in the environment that best suits your needs.

Resume Without Missing a Beat

With Foundry Connect’s robust continuous checkpoint mechanism, your pipeline's progress is always monitored. Should you need to change parameters or encounter interruptions, you can effortlessly resume partially completed pipelines at any stage. This feature saves valuable time and minimizes frustration.

Analyze with Confidence

Gain actionable insights with Foundry Connect’s comprehensive reporting section, which provides clear summaries of every executed step. Utilize interactive tools such as Shiny Apps, R-Studio (R-Markdown), Jupyter Notebook, or any containerized application for deeper data analysis, ensuring a seamless and rewarding experience.
