so I'm trying to put together a pretty simple serverless application to learn the architecture better. It's a pretty basic thing - user uploads 23andme data, perl script converts the txt file into into vcf, that's uploaded to cloud storage, google genomics takes it from there and gives it to bigquery for annotation. Automating this into a pipeline would be pretty easy with a persistent vm, but I was hoping someone on here would know something obvious I'd just missed
I've got a decent idea of how to automate most of this into an automatic pipeline, but the perl script seems to be a bit of a sticking point. Might be because perl is one of a handful of languages I don't even know the basic syntax of, but does anyone have any recommendations on how I could make this work, short of just rewriting the 23andme-vbf script in Python or scrapping the 'serverless' part of this idea, since automating all of this would be pretty trivial with a persistent vm but I was hoping it might be something obvious I'd just missed.
It seems like other people have asked similar questions here in the past, but as of yet, I've been unable to find any of them with any answers.
