What is the 'Custom Workflow' feature?

What is it?

A secure sandbox inside Mass Dynamics 3.0 that lets you run your own R or Python code directly on MD-hosted data—no local downloads, no separate servers.

Why would my team use it?

  • Flexibility: add lab-specific stats, QC, or visualisations beyond built-ins.
  • Speed: code executes next to the data (zero copy), so large uploads disappear.
  • Reproducibility: every run is version-tracked to the dataset ID and Git SHA you specify.
  • Security: single-tenant container is destroyed after execution; MD staff cannot view your script or logs.
