It makes it easy to split functionality out of your main application onto separately scalable compute.
A few use cases where it shines are:
- document parsing - data aggregation - webhook handling - image processing
since these are generally compute-bound and can be built as isolated functions.
We were inspired by Modal’s developer experience — fast deploys with a simple in-code SDK interface. We also use Depot under-the-hood to build images as fast as possible.
You can try it out now by authenticating with github → marking an endpoint in your code → running ‘pare deploy […]’
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
