While Galaxy excels at being a workflow for the biologist with no major computational knowledge, recent advances in the past 3-4 years allow its use now as a system for handling production pipelines in larger bioinformatics setups (large data providers, core facilities, etc). I would like to bring together the people that see Galaxy as a reasonable alternative to more cli oriented workflow systems in the setting of production bioinformatics, that would have an interest in using Galaxy on these environments or that are already doing it. At the EBI we piloted recently tertiary analysis single cells pipelines from Galaxy being used in our production pipelines for the Single Cell Expression Atlas. We clearly had to go through some hurdles, but we think we have now something that is relatively generic. We had to add support on the client side layer to be able to allow errors and other border conditions and elements at the server side for things like automatic resubmissions on out of memory termination, among others. It would be great to share and hear what we have all learned in our experiences in this sort of setups and what other constraints we should be aware of when trying to do this.
