A tiny server to do anything you can't do without a tiny server

Why?

• Next.js handles web pages and SERVERLESS API routes
• Next.js middleware handle proxy features using v8 engine
• ncc handles building scripts written in TS
• But nobody handles long-lived jobs:
  • Database daily cleanups
  • Cron jobs of all kind
  • Data computation jobs etc.
  • Basically anything you can't do with a serverless API

Current workaroud is using tools such as GitHub action. But we want to limit the number of 3rd party service we use.

Satellite aims at solving this issue.

Hosting

We need a serverfull alternative to Vercel: eg https://railway.app/about
