CRON

You can use any language and framework*

How did we make cold latency hot again?

Running in cloud and on-premise with thin dependencies

Scale out for throughput, scale up for tenants

Highthroughput

Many tenants

Lowthroughput

Few tenants

Scale-out

Scale-upEasy

Dragons be here

Developer love:all you need is code
