Start a machine, drive it from the CLI or an SDK, and look up every command.

Get started

Quickstart An API key, the SDK, and your first machine. Start a machine Install the CLI, sign in, and run a machine from the terminal or the SDK. Machines One size of machine, sized for anything, metered on use.

Guides

Secrets and keys Write-only secrets, and keys with spending ceilings. Networking Private, encrypted links between your machines. Snapshots A whole machine at one moment, back in under a second. Backups Every disk, copied to storage you own. Agents A machine and a capped key for every agent. Sealed Memory and disk encrypted by the CPU, keyed to the machine. Metering CPU, memory and disk, paid for as they are used. Pricing The rate card, and what an idle or stopped machine costs.

Reference

API The address, the credential and the operations behind the CLI and the SDKs. SDK TypeScript, Python and Rust, generated from one core. SDK reference Every object, method and record, generated from the source the SDKs are built from. CLI Every command and flag, generated from the binary.

Examples

Start a server in a machine A machine boots from a plain systemd image with one extra program, an exec service. You call it from TypeScript over RPC v3 to start a web server, then open the machine's public URL.
