Right now, the product is in alpha, so its programming model is subject to change. As a result we expect it to serve mostly personal use cases, and hope to serve the enterprise over time.
And yes, it's free! You can run any number of cron jobs up to a frequency of once / minute [1]. You can also trigger workflows via HTTP requests [2], up to 10 QPS for free (after that, we'll rate limit you and issue 429s, but you can always reach out to us to raise that limit if you have a use case).
We think it's the easiest way to run Node.js code on a schedule or in response to HTTP requests. There's no infra to manage or other cloud resources to provision. You just write Node code.
We support a lot of first-class "destinations", like S3 [3] and a hosted data warehouse where you can send any JSON and query it using SQL, also for free [4] (we generate and update the table schema for you, based on the JSON you send). We use these destinations internally to store e.g. data from webhooks for analytics. If you need to run basic transformations on HTTP requests using Node, then send that data somewhere, it's a trivial way to do it. You can add any number of these destinations to a single workflow. We also support returning custom HTTP responses if you'd like to build out simple APIs [5].
I'd love if you found a use case for it and gave us any technical feedback you have. That's exactly what we're looking for at this stage!
