What it does

If you run apps on VPS, you know the workflow: SSH → run commands → check logs → open dashboards → deploy again.

Code example below [1]. The use cases we have in mind include agent loops, ETL/data pipelines, billing flows, and other long-running jobs. The model is simple: mark an existing function as a Task, deploy the repo as a Workflow, then trigger runs from your application code or via our API.…
