Users can inspect the code, understand how the tool works, and verify that it meets their security and compliance requirements. This transparency builds trust between us and our users. This is extremly important when manipulating sensitive datas.
  • Scalability: The Docker-based architecture allows for easy scaling, making it suitable for businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large companies.
