  "what": "File processing API driven by declarative JSON Templates called Assemblies: chain import, resize, transcode, watermark, OCR, virus scan and export steps into one pipeline. Handles images, video, audio and documents. Bills on gigabytes processed rather than per operation or per file.",
  "why": "Reach for it when uploads need a real workflow, not just a resize — ingest a RAW photo, generate five derivatives, extract EXIF and push to S3 in a single declarative Template.",
  "warn": "The free Community tier watermarks images and trims audio and video, so it is unusable in production. Billing counts every gigabyte flowing through the pipeline, so multi-step chains bill the same bytes repeatedly.",
