deployment that i created out of docker's engineering frustration and cloud costs being so high so scaling any server or deployment is becoming financial barrier than scaling barrier so mrn uses less memory and take any ordinary linux to paas tier it also invloves the managment of services, jobs, environment variables, git integration, resource control/monitoring, and so much easy to use for more
