The rapid growth of microbiome research is hindered by significant challenges in data management, including data fragmentation across disparate silos, a lack of methodological standardization, and barriers to advanced privacy-preserving analysis. To address these issues, this article proposes a conceptual architectural blueprint for a resilient, scalable, and integrated platform for microbiome data. Our proposed architecture is a modular, cloud-native system designed to support the entire research lifecycle. Key attributes include a multi-layered microservices framework to ensure scalability, adherence to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable,...
