From their website it says "cloud infrastructure services and all the tools developers need to create, collaborate, test, and deploy solutions to production". Basically, a python cloud-based IDE that includes a batch scheduler and object persistence backed by some no-sql database. Also has a tightly coupled DAG (think pyungo). Built on top of docker it seems. They're geared towards insurance companies, hedge funds and banks. The system has similarities to systems used in other banks eg SecDB at GS, Athena at JPM and Quartz at BAML. Any one have any experience with Beacon or have any views? Are there any open source alternatives out there that do something similar? Just curious.
