Transform Hub, welcome to the Scramjet Family!

Scramjet Transform Hub (STH) is designed to drastically improve and simplify what has been possible with the Scramjet Framework, giving developers even more tools and freedom in the Cloud. Unlike the current Serverless systems, Scramjet Transform Hub gives you an opportunity to process data from different sources and in multiple scenarios. You can not only separately process small events, but also lists of local files, large files, pull streams from streaming APIs and so on. The choice is yours and STH adapts to your use case natively.

We looked at the competition and compared their solutions to our newly launched STH. This is a lot to process, but most importantly STH offers best-in-class performance metrics at an unrivalled cost while being simple to deploy, in just 4 steps! If Scramjet Transform Hub sounds interesting to you, go and check it out – we believe you’ll be able to unlock great new use cases with STH.

Pricing model comparison across major STH competitors

Metric	Lambda, Azure Fn, GCF	OpenFaaS, Nuclio	Kafka, Kinesis, Azure EH	Scramjet Transform Hub
Unit of scale	Event	Data	Mixed	N/A
Timescale	seconds	seconds	hrs / days	N/A
Pricing model complexity	V-Complex	Open Source	Complex	Open Source
Scenario low throughput monthly: 0.5 requests per second + 500 ms processing + 512 MB RAM + 10 kb output on average	$1,11	Servers cost = $ 300	N/A	Free + servers cost = $100
Scenario generating data for ML 10 GB of items: 500 ms processing + 512 MB RAM + 100 kb output on average	$1,34		N/A
Scenario large data output: 0.5 requests per second + 1000 ms processing + 512 MB RAM + 1 MB output on average	$113,82		N/A
Scenario full month of ops: 1 requests per second + 1000 ms processing + 512 MB RAM 100 kb output on average	$26,57		N/A
Scenario 50% baseline + 8x scale: Like full month but with 8x peak for 4 hours a day	$60,08		N/A
