Overview

BlastAPI is a robust and scalable API built using FastAPI to handle user requests for BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) operations. It leverages a microservices architecture with RabbitMQ for message queuing and Redis for caching to ensure high performance and reliability.

Features

FastAPI: Provides a modern and high-performance web framework for building APIs.
RabbitMQ: Acts as a message broker, allowing asynchronous processing and communication between services.
Redis: Used for caching to speed up repeated queries and improve the overall performance.
