• Fast. No page reloads, molten is a SPA (single page app) and keeps state during navigation.
• Full access to all salt clients supported via Rest API.
• Live updates, e.g. for events, jobs, ...
• Job history and rescheduling of jobs
• Simple deployment: no additional Python / Node.js or Go application required.
