A Mermadic job is any Docker container, submitted through a single API call and run on your dedicated cluster. Point it at an image in the Mermadic Container Registry or any public image, set the CPU and memory it needs, and it runs.
Jobs are billed per second, so you never pay for idle capacity, and job-only nodes scale to zero when nothing is running. Parallelize batch workloads, ETL pipelines, and data processing across many jobs at once, or schedule them with cron when they need to run on a timetable.
Because the cluster and its API are dedicated to your account, there are no shared request queues and no cross-tenant rate limits on the jobs you submit.
