- Sebguer 4y agoLiterally anything stateless.
- gabrielhidasy 4y agoAnything that you can easily checkpoint/finish quickly, while needing a ton of computers to do, map-reduce type jobs. For example, let's say you need to process a few million images, each taking a few seconds to process. You can start a manager task that distributes images, and a pool of interruptible workers, when a worker dies you just reissue the images to another.
