Dear all, I am new to Galaxy (software for buiding backend largely used by the community of computacional biology). I was wondering if somebody has experience with Galaxy also for front end, as so, it would be possible to do all the work in just one platform instead of several different languages. Best regards, Jorge,
To whom it may concern,
It has been about 4 months since I did this question, I have been hardly working on back-front end methodologies. My current reply is ‘no’. Galaxy is a backend-like tool, in fact, if we really take into account the theories out there regarding back-front end design, Galaxy is not part of it! Building a website is much more than making available tools like Galaxy, maybe in the past, we could think this narrowly, but now we have several easy to use tools for back-front end design and development.
We have nowadays several tools for building back-front end platforms. I am using what is called “MEAN stack”. We have Mongo, Express, and Node as backend and Angular as front end. They do not have space for Galaxy; however, since Node is a single-threaded system, it is not ideal for heavyweight calculation, wherein I believe we shall need Galaxy!
Notwithstanding, one may want to feed the mongo database or similar with computational related results, and this is my current challenge, should you have an insight, please, do not hesitate!
Have a nice new year!
Best regards,
Jorge,
