Product overview

Code Ocean brings together open-source tools and cloud technology to help Computational Scientists do great research.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Code Ocean for?

Anyone working with data, but especially anyone working in regulated environments (like the life sciences). This includes computational scientists and bioinformaticians working directly with data and the IT and engineering teams supporting them.

Where is Code Ocean installed?

Code Ocean installs directly into your AWS account in about 40 minutes. If your data is already on AWS, you can leave it exactly where it is: no need to move or upload your data anywhere else, or to any locked-in platforms.

If we use Code Ocean, are we locked into using it?

No. Unlike other platforms, we have a firm No Lock-In philosophy: anything you do in Code Ocean (e.g. in Compute Capsules or Pipelines) can be exported—with a single click—at any time.

What are your security and compliance standards?

Code Ocean is HIPAA, GxP, and ISO27001 compliant. We are currently working towards SOC2 compliance with an external auditor.

Built for Computational Science

  • Data analysis

    data-analysis
    Compute Scalability@8x

    Data analysis

    Use ready-made template Compute Capsules to analyze your data, develop your data analysis workflow in your preferred language and IDE using any open-source software, and take advantage of built-in containerization to guarantee reproducibility.

  • Data management

    data-management
    Data Management Light@8x

    Data management

    Manage your organization's data and control who has access to it. Built specifically to meet all FAIR principles, data management in Code Ocean uses custom metadata and controlled vocabularies to ensure consistency and improve searchability.

  • Bioinformatics pipelines

    bioinformatic-pipelines
    Pipelines Light@8x

    Bioinformatics pipelines

    Build, configure and monitor bioinformatics pipelines from scratch using a visual builder for easy set-up. Or, import from nf-core in one click for instant access to a curated set of best practice analysis pipelines. Runs on AWS Batch out-of-the-box, so your pipelines scale automatically. No setup needed.

  • ML models

    AI-MLflow
    Data Analysis Light@8x

    ML model development

    Code Ocean is uniquely suited for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Generative AI. Install GPU-ready environments and provision GPU resources in a few clicks. Integration with MLFlow allows you to develop models, track parameters, manage models from development to production, while enjoying out-of-the-box reproducibility and lineage.

  • Multiomics

    multiomics
    Multiomics Light@8x

    Multiomics

    Analyze and work with large multimodal datasets efficiently using scalable compute and storage resources, cached packages for R and Python, preloaded multiomics analysis software that works out of the box and full lineage and reproducibility.

  • Imaging

    image-processing
    Image processing Light@8x

    Imaging

    Process images using a variety of tools: from dedicated desktop applications to custom-written deep learning pipelines, from a few individual files to petabyte-sized datasets. No DevOps required, always with lineage.

  • Cloud management

    cloud-management
    Cloud management Light@8x

    Cloud management

    Code Ocean makes it easy to manage data and provision compute: CPUs, GPUs, and RAM. Assign flex machines and dedicated machines to manage what is available to your users. Spot instances, idleness detection, and automated shutdown help reduce cloud costs. 

  • Data/model provenance

    result-provenance
    Provenance Light@8x

    Data/model provenance

    Keep track of all data and results with automated result provenance and lineage graph generation. Assess reproducibility with a visual representation of every Capsule, Pipeline, and Data asset involved in a computation.
