DAT204: How Thermo Fisher Is Reducing Mass Spectrometry Experiment Times from Days to Minutes with MongoDB & AWS

AWS re:Invent 2016 - A podcast by AWS

Categories:

Mass spectrometry is the gold standard for determining chemical compositions, with spectrometers often measuring the mass of a compound down to a single electron. This level of granularity produces an enormous amount of hierarchical data that doesn't fit well into rows and columns. In this talk, learn how Thermo Fisher is using MongoDB Atlas on AWS to allow their users to get near real-time insights from mass spectrometry experiments—a process that used to take days. We also share how the underlying database service used by Thermo Fisher was built on AWS.
