+// Aviasales homework
+//
+// The goal is to develop a system using existing APIs that
+// minimizes the cost of processing messages from a queue
+//
+// We are given a Queue that emits messages with a mps (messages per second) rate.
+// One of the requirements for the system is that the length of the queue should not
+// go above some threshold.
+//
+// Each message that is produced by the Queue represents a workload. The size of the
+// workload is some random value in a given range.
+//
+// We are given a Cluster that allows us to launch new instances of workers that are
+// capable of processing jobs (you can think of this as some cloud API like AWS or GCE).
+//
+// Each instance takes some time to spin up and is billed per hour.
+//
+// This code implements a naive approach that launches a new instance for every
+// job from the queue, processes this job and terminates the instance.
+// Of course this way we do not utilize our cluster properly and pay way more than we could.
+// Feel free to improve this solution and make it more cost efficient.
