Introduction

Explore ByteNite Docs to learn how to build, deploy, and run distributed apps—from quick scripts to complex pipelines—at cloud scale.

ByteNite’s serverless container platform is built for high-performance teams and developers who need fast startup times, flexible compute, and a simpler path to getting things done—without the headaches of traditional cloud infrastructure.

But we don’t just host containers. We’ve designed a distributed execution fabric that eliminates cold starts, streamlines app architecture, and gives you full control over your container environments—without the overhead of managing infrastructure.

With ByteNite, you can focus on building your app and leave the heavy lifting to us:

  • Write your core application and fan-out/fan-in logic in the programming language you know best.

  • Package your dependencies using any public or private Docker container image.

  • Define environments and hardware specs with a lightweight manifest file.

  • Submit jobs that are automatically partitioned, scheduled, and executed across pre-warmed cloud runners—powered by our proprietary distributed execution fabric.

Ready to dive in? This documentation site covers everything you need, from getting started to scaling complex workloads.

Documentation overview

Our docs are here to guide you—from first steps to advanced workloads. Whether you’re exploring tutorials, learning about core system components, or diving into API references, you’ll find everything you need to build, manage, and scale apps on ByteNite.

Just checking things out?

If you’re unsure whether ByteNite is the right fit for you or your team, start with our How it Works guide or read our tutorials—no account needed!

1. Understanding the workflow

We’ve broken down distributed computing into a few key components to make building and managing apps simpler. To get started, check out our How it Works guide, where you’ll dive into the typical processing job's lifecycle and get an overview of each stage, learning example use cases across different data types.

Here’s a quick rundown of a typical setup:

  • Partitioner – Pre-processes and splits your input data into manageable chunks.

  • App – Runs the core logic and handles the heavy lifting of your workload.

  • Assembler – Merges or cleans up the output once processing is complete.

2. Checking out tutorials

If you’re new to ByteNite, a great place to start is with our tutorials. They walk you through real examples, so you can get hands-on experience and see how everything fits together.

While it’s tempting to jump straight into building your own applications, we recommend browsing the full system guides first. They’ll help you understand the bigger picture and the components that power ByteNite.

3. Taking the next steps: build and launch your apps

Once you’re comfortable with how ByteNite works, the next step is diving into the guides that help you build, launch, and manage your apps effectively.

You’ll learn how to structure your workloads using ByteNite’s modular components, connect your data sources, and run distributed jobs. After that, you’ll explore the API that ties everything together—allowing you to automate job launches, manage secrets, access logs, and more.

Head over to the guides below to get the full rundown:


Product & services

ByteNite’s serverless computing platform offers APIs and interfaces designed to make app development and workload management smoother at every stage.
