For someone who's not in the loop, can someone give a brief explanation of what pain point this solves?
The space of 'easy deployment' and 'scale' seems incredibly crowded, from reading the headlines - what makes this different/better?

If you look at the solutions out there, they all involve you dealing with low-level APIs or config that have little to do with how you write most apps and frameworks in mainstream programming languages.
