Off the top of my head, this could be used for backups, database migrations, auditing software, report generations, email blasts, CPU/memory intensive operations... The possibilities are endless because the execution layer is just a container, so you're not limited on what exactly is being run inside it.

Off the top of my head, I'd say anything you might use Lambda and it's ilk for.
