-# Serverless containers on AWS
+# Cost-effective serverless computing
 
-Avoid the complexity of Kubernetes, service meshes, load balancers, queues, and autoscalers. Deploy, manage, and scale containers on a Kubernetes-based serverless platform that is up to 75% less expensive than Lambda.
+Cortex is a highly-scalable and cost-effective serverless computing platform that runs on your AWS account. It scales microservices, data processing, machine learning, and other compute-intensive realtime and batch workloads. Cortex is designed to handle production traffic of up to 20M QPS and is up to 90% less expensive than AWS Lambda.
 
 <br>
 
-## Build production-grade microservices faster
+## Maximize instance utilization
 
-**Autoscaling** - customize autoscaling for realtime, async, and batch workloads.
+**Workload autoscaling** - set autoscaling policies per workload based on its traffic.
 
-**Networking** - get HTTP endpoints that can handle large-scale production traffic.
+**Resource requests** - configure CPU, GPU, and memory requests per workload, without limits.
 
-**Observability** - send logs and metrics from every workload to any monitoring tool.
+**Container deployments** - customize the runtime and request concurrency for each container.
 
 <br>
 
-## Allocate CPU, GPU, and memory without limits
+## Minimize instance costs
 
-**No resource limits** - allocate as much CPU, GPU, and memory as each workload requires.
+**Cluster autoscaling** - elastically scale your cluster to meet demand.
 
-**No cold starts** - keep a minimum number of replicas running to minimize latency.
+**Spot instances** - run workloads on spot instances without sacrificing reliability.
 
-**No timeouts** - run workloads for as long as you want.
+**Multi-instance** - use multiple instance types to optimize price-performance ratio per workload.
 
 <br>
 
-## Save up to 75% on your AWS bill
+## Control your spend
 
-**Spot instances** - run workloads on spot and/or reserved instances without affecting reliability.
+**Workload observability** - monitor latency and resource utilization with pre-built dashboards.
 
-**Custom instances** - use instances with the optimal price-performance ratio for your workloads.
+**Cost transparency** - visualize your costs using the latest AWS pricing information.
 
-**Scale to zero** - scale workloads to zero to minimize idle resources.
+**Predictable spend** - set limits on resource consumption globally and per workload.
