 ## What is Dispatch?
 
-Dispatch is a platform for developing scalable & reliable distributed systems.
+Dispatch is a cloud service for developing scalable and reliable applications in
+Python, including:
+
+- **Event-Driven Architectures**
+- **Background Jobs**
+- **Transactional Workflows**
+- **Multi-Tenant Data Pipelines**
+
+Dispatch differs from alternative solutions by allowing developers to write
+simple Python code: it has a **minimal API footprint**, which usually only
+requires using a function decorator (no complex framework to learn), failure
+recovery is built-in by default for transient errors like rate limits or
+timeouts, with a **zero-configuration** model.
