From their website it says "cloud infrastructure services and all the tools developers need to create, collaborate, test, and deploy solutions to production".<p>Basically, a python cloud-based IDE that includes a batch scheduler and object persistence backed by some no-sql database. Also has a tightly coupled DAG (think pyungo). Built on top of docker it seems.<p>They're geared towards insurance companies, hedge funds and banks. The system has similarities to systems used in other banks eg SecDB at GS, Athena at JPM and Quartz at BAML.<p>Any one have any experience with Beacon or have any views? Are there any open source alternatives out there that do something similar? Just curious.
