The Traditional Services battery enables you to run containers that don’t conform to the serverless HTTP model. This is particularly useful for running long-running processes or services that need to be accessed by other services in your cluster.
Batteries Included automates the deployment, scaling, and monitoring of these services, making it easy to run any container workload with just a few clicks!
