Building scalable machine learning projects is challenging enough without the added burden of hidden or unpredictable infrastructure costs.

AI workflows often use containers as isolated environments per task, but each spin-up requires initializing dependencies, configuring models, and loading data, slowing down workflows that need rapid, repeated executions.

Developing and deploying AI models at scale is challenging. Many teams face obstacles like disconnected workflows, runaway or prohibitive infrastructure costs, and slow time-to-market for AI solutions.
