REST API to run pipeline ( not Galaxy)

I wonder if a framework exists to launch a pipeline / script from a user interface. I mean , something more general than galaxy. I imagine a server with REST endpoint to launch a pipeline and some websockets to monitor your run on live. The UI could be generate from Json-form specification.

Thanks, but i would like to know if alternative softwares exists and compare them. I m not sure galaxy provide websocket features. Similar tools should exist outside bioinformatics world.

You can use bioblend and not have to care about how the actual web API works. That allows you to check on a job's status.

What Pierre said. What you're describing is a stripped down version of Galaxy without any of the framework to aid reproducibility.

I found BioBoxes and BioContainers as pipeline containers. Would be awesome now to find a GUI lancher.
