Case Study: Basepair helps Nkarta cut compute costs by 50% with Amazon Web Services

Basepair’s SaaS Platform Orchestrates Nkarta’s Use of Its Own AWS Resources to Democratize Genomic Data Analysis

Basepair, working with Amazon Web Services, helped biotech company Nkarta address the challenge of building a scalable, user-friendly bioinformatics platform without overburdening a small team. Nkarta needed a way to analyze genomic data faster and more efficiently while reducing the DevOps effort required to manage compute resources.

Using Basepair’s NGS Analysis and Visualization Software on Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3, Amazon Web Services enabled automated compute optimization, job handling, and secure data management in Nkarta’s own AWS environment. The result was a 50% reduction in compute costs, up to 80% potential storage savings, 50% faster internal response times, and the equivalent of three to five full-time engineers saved, helping speed time to market for therapies.
