Nonfunctional Features
======================


Scalability
-----------

The service should support working in a clustered context, where many instances can work in tandem.

Resource Usage
--------------

The service should not waste compute or resources, and be free of memory leaks.

Metrics
-------

The service supports passing on metrics to an external `OpenTelemetry <https://opentelemetry.io/>`_ sync.

Deployment
----------

The service is deployed using Containers. This is the only method for deployment we support.
