# Scale compute-intensive serverless workloads

Cortex is a Kubernetes-based serverless platform built for AWS.

<br>

## Deploy realtime, batch, and async workloads

* **Realtime** - realtime APIs respond to requests in real-time and autoscale based on in-flight request volumes.
* **Batch** - batch APIs run distributed and fault-tolerant batch processing jobs on-demand.
* **Async** - async APIs process requests asynchronously and autoscale based on request queue length.

<br>

## Scale across hundreds of CPU and GPU instances

* **No resource limits** - allocate as much CPU, GPU, and memory as each workload requires.
* **No cold starts** - keep a minimum number of API replicas running to ensure that requests are handled in real-time.
* **No timeouts** - run workloads for as long as you want.

<br>

## Control your AWS spend

* **Spot instance management** - Cortex automatically runs workloads on spot instances and falls back to on-demand instances to ensure reliability.
* **Multi-instance type clusters** - choose the ideal EC2 instance type for your workloads or mix and match several instance types in the same cluster.
* **Customizable autoscaling** - optimize the autoscaling behavior for each workload to ensure efficient resource utilization.
