🎯 The Challenge: Hyperspectral Cellular Data at Scale
Modern cellular imaging generates hyperspectral data that fundamentally differs from traditional "logs and clicks."
With spatial-temporal continuous time-series data from robot-generated experiments, existing infrastructure fails to meet
the unique demands of storing and streaming trillions of cells worth of imaging data.
🏗️ GenoBank's Hybrid Architecture Solution
Our solution implements a sophisticated hybrid storage architecture that combines the best of hot and cold storage,
ensuring both cost-effectiveness and performance. The architecture seamlessly integrates:
- Hot Storage (S3 Standard): Real-time access for active datasets
- Cold Storage (S3 Glacier): Cost-effective long-term archival
- BioNFT Access Control: Tokenized permissions for secure data sharing
- GenoBank Streaming Endpoint: Sub-second access to any dataset
Data Flow Architecture
- Hyperspectral microscope generates 100-300 MB/sec of imaging data
- Data streams to S3 via multipart upload with automatic lifecycle policies
- GenoBank API manages access control via BioNFT ownership verification
- Streaming endpoint delivers data with CloudFront CDN optimization
⚙️ Technical Implementation
Scalable Upload Architecture
GenoBank's infrastructure handles hyperspectral data files ranging from 10GB to 1TB+ through an intelligent multipart upload system:
- Chunked Processing: Large files are automatically split into optimal chunks for parallel upload
- Automatic Recovery: Network interruptions don't require restarting - uploads resume from the last successful chunk
- Metadata Preservation: Cell count, wavelength ranges, and resolution data are maintained throughout the pipeline
- Progressive Upload: Researchers can begin analysis on uploaded portions while remaining data transfers
Key Innovation: Our system achieves 100-300 MB/sec sustained throughput by leveraging AWS's global infrastructure while maintaining complete data sovereignty through blockchain-based access control.
BioNFT-Gated Streaming Access
GenoBank's proprietary BioNFT access control system ensures that only authorized researchers can access hyperspectral datasets:
- Blockchain Verification: Every access request is validated against Story Protocol's immutable ownership records
- Time-Limited Access: Secure URLs are generated with automatic expiration to prevent unauthorized sharing
- Global CDN Delivery: Once authenticated, data streams through CloudFront's 450+ edge locations for optimal performance
- Sub-Second Latency: Despite security checks, first-byte delivery remains under 100ms globally
- Granular Permissions: Owners can grant specific access levels - from read-only viewing to full download rights
Security + Speed: Our architecture proves that robust security doesn't require sacrificing performance. Researchers experience the same streaming speeds as traditional cloud storage, but with complete ownership control.
