Architecture Diagram ¶

Overview ¶

The BioStudio architecture diagram provides a comprehensive overview of the system’s components and their relationships. It illustrates how different services and systems interact with each other and with all other services in detail.

On private server / K8S ¶

1. Preparing the platform setup ¶

Our product consists of containerized applications that can be deployed on Docker using the Docker engine (docker, containerd) as well as on Kubernetes.

To install BioStudio on your private server, the following requirements must be met:

System requirements ¶

Hardware requirements ¶

Network requirements ¶

Access to these domains is required for the machine with the BioStudio software installed, as we need to retrieve data from the BioTuring ecosystem server.

Application services ¶

Service ports ¶

2. Internal service workflow ¶

It is possible to install both the bioproxy and BioStudio Docker images on a single physical machine.

Using the machine that has the BBrowserX private server installed can help you optimize your costs.

    C -->|Databases| H[PostgreSQL \n MySQL \n MariaDB]
    C -->|Ecosystem| J[BBrowserX \n Talk2Data]

3. Connection workflow ¶

Connection workflow refers to the sequence of steps or processes that are involved in establishing and managing connections between two or more systems, devices, or applications.

    C -->|Install| H[Biological APPs]

4. User access workflow ¶

5. Setup HTTPS workflow ¶

SSL Certificate : Software supports HTTPS protocol. SSL can be configured later after installation too.

After installing your private server, you can update your SSL by accessing the dashboard at http://your_private_server_ip_or_domain:port/dashboard and selecting Settings > Update SSL.

6. What is the process to activate your BioStudio private server? ¶

To activate the BioStudio private server, you need to have a token that is obtained from BioTuring.

After installing your private server, you can update your BioStudio token by accessing the dashboard at http://your_private_server_ip_or_domain:port/dashboard and selecting Settings > Update BioStudio Token.

7. How can you utilize your company’s SSO for accessing your BioStudio private server? ¶

BioStudio supports various SSO protocols including SAML, OAuth2, and OpenID, as well as popular social SSO options like AzureAD, Okta, Apple, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, and Github.

    B <-->|Redirect| F[portal.bioturing.com \n If you are unable to configure the SSO settings, \n you can use \n the BioTuring portal for authentication.]

8. What is the process for scaling in/out your BioStudio private server? ¶

Bioproxy and BioStudio (Docker images) can be installed on multiple machines. However, only one Bioproxy instance is needed to balance the load across all BioStudio instances.

    A[Private server \n or Your K8S] -->|Control| B(bioproxy)

    B <-->|Load balancing| E[BioStudio 2]
    B <-->|Load balancing| F[BioStudio N]
    D --> |Add volumes| N[Volume 1...N]
    E --> |Add volumes| M[Volume 1...N]
    F --> |Add volumes| K[Volume 1...N]

On BioTuring cloud ¶

It is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user.
