Getting started

  1. Create an account
  2. Download the CLI
  3. Start developing and deploying apps - that’s it!
Beam is currently in private beta. If you’re reading this, you’re one of the first people to try it.

​
📦 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.

​
🛰 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.

​
🚀 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, you’ll 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.
