BBduk reading fastq from S3 directly - Is it possibile?

Hello to all,

I am not from Bioinf field but there is no issue for me running bbduk trimming command :)

I was wondering is it possibile to load paired fastq reads directly form S3 bucket?

Even better, load input from S3 and stream the output to S3 directly as well = ]

I find many tools are "missing" this feature now that the cloud is "default" go to. Especially for storage.

I think this is because people prioritize solving problems that are objectively more difficult. Storage is not an issue for most people in this field, as one can buy a 4-10 Tb hard disk for well under $500.

Yes ofcorse. I did not mean to criticize. I am aware that my correspondence is blunt sometimes though :).

Hi, thanks for taking time to share. Since I don't come from bioinf side my question probably lacks context. Question is more of a "low level" nature. Lie techincal without using "third party" tools. Rather I asked it for educational purpose.

I will ask similar in a new thread hoping to make myself more clear.
