Getting started
- Create an account
- Download the CLI
- Start developing and deploying apps - thatโs it!
Beam is currently in private beta. If youโre reading this, youโre one of the
first people to try it.
๐ฆ Setup remote development environments in code
Configure your runtime in Python - tell us how many GPUs you need and which libraries you want installed, and Beam will spawn a remote environment for you.๐ฐ Develop locally on remote hardware
You can write and run your code locally - except when you enter your shell, your code will run on Beam instead of your local machine.๐ Deploy apps as serverless functions
Deploy your apps as serverless REST APIs, scheduled cron jobs, or webhooks - all in just four lines of Python.What can you do with Beam?
- Deploy ML models on serverless runtimes. Your app will scale automatically with traffic and spin down when idle.
- Develop on your local IDE, while running on remote GPUs
- Instantly jump from hacking on a script to serving an API in production
- Save money on your cloud bill. Beam is serverless and charges simple usage-based, per-second pricing

Core Concepts
-
Apps. Each project in Beam is called an app. When you first start Beam, youโll be prompted to define your environment through the
Beam.App()
method in the SDK. - Triggers. Triggers are actions that can invoke your Beam apps. For example, a REST API trigger allows your Beam app to be invoked via a REST API. A webhook trigger will allow your Beam app to be invoked asyncronously using a webhook, and so on.
- Outputs. Outputs are file paths that can be used to save files created when your functions are run.
